About this work
A woman with a mass of dark, tousled hair is shown from the chest up, head tilted and eyes lowered in a distracted, inward gaze. Her hands are wrapped around a plain white cup held close to her chest, the only clearly defined object in the composition.
The face is built from warm ochre and pink tones set against deep umber shadows that dissolve into the raw weave of the canvas at the edges. Paint is applied in broad, dry strokes with visible ridges and scraped patches, giving the surface a rough, tactile quality that matches the picture's quiet, brooding mood.
