About this work
A young woman with long, tousled dark hair falling past her shoulders is shown from the chest up, her head tilted slightly and eyes lowered in a pensive, faraway look. She wears a dark, loosely indicated garment with a pale patterned collar, her face the only sharply resolved element in the composition.
The face is built with thick, confident strokes of warm flesh tone set against heavy impasto highlights in the hair and collar, while the background is scumbled in loose patches of brown, grey and ochre. The unfinished, painterly handling around a tightly modeled face gives the portrait a candid, somewhat melancholic, sketch-like immediacy.
