About this work
Shown in profile with eyes closed, a young woman draws her bow across a bright blue electric violin. Her hair is bound in a woven, diamond-patterned headwrap in ochre and rust tones, and a fringed, jewel-studded shawl spills from her shoulders over a dark buttoned jacket. Faint lilac lettering is visible on the pale wall behind her, suggesting an urban, street-art setting.
Warm ochres, rust and gold in the headwrap and shawl stand against a nearly white, thickly textured background and the cool blue of the instrument. Brushwork is loose and built up in the fabric folds, giving them a woven, tactile richness, while the face is modeled more smoothly and softly lit. The mood is inward and absorbed, the closed eyes and tilted head suggesting total concentration on the music.
