About this work
The picture is a close, frontal view of a young woman's face framed by a dark headscarf edged with a row of round silver-and-gold coin ornaments and a red patterned band. A matching necklace of coins and beads circles her throat, and glimpses of red-and-black embroidered clothing appear at the shoulders.
Thick impasto strokes model the warm, ruddy skin of the face against the darker tones of the headscarf, while the coin ornaments are picked out in loaded dabs of white, ochre and gold. The background dissolves into soft violet and rust patches, and the direct, steady gaze combined with the heavy paint texture gives the portrait a grave, dignified presence.
