About this work
Shown in strict profile against a plain warm gray wall, a woman with closely cropped hair looks off to the left, a beaded gold earring hanging from her ear. Her shoulders and neck are wrapped in a boldly patterned cloth patched together from triangles and blocks of teal, orange, yellow and magenta.
Her skin is modeled in warm umber and burnt sienna tones with soft, controlled light along the cheek and jaw, painted with smooth academic precision. Against this restrained handling, the shawl is built from loose, high-key strokes of contrasting color, creating a calm, dignified mood centered on the sitter's steady gaze.
