Description
A young woman is shown in half-length, turned slightly away from the viewer with her gaze cast down and to the side. Her auburn hair is swept up, a small pearl earring catching the light at her ear, and she wears a dark, fur-trimmed coat over a white collar. Her hands, one marked by a ring, rest crossed in front of her.
Worked in soft pastel, the piece is built from visible strokes of ochre and olive in the background against warm pink and cream tones in the face and hands, with deep browns and greys describing the heavy coat, a quicker, more intimate kind of study than a finished portrait.
This study is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction or as an archival canvas print, made to order in the size of your choice.
