Subject

Portrait of woman in a pink blouse

Description

In this portrait, a woman in a pink blouse stands facing the viewer while gazing off the right. Her dark hair, smeared with blue and pink, frames her oval face. Detail is lost through the painterly treatment of the subject as loose brushstrokes obscure the clarity of the figure and setting. This type of rendering, however, aids in an aesthetic experience drawing the viewer’s attention to color and form.
