This painting depicts a close-up portrait of a woman, whose oblique, tightly cropped composition partially cuts the figure off at the edges of the canvas. Broad planes of vivid red and pale pink envelop the face, while the features, expressive eyes, defined lips, and the contours of the nose and ear emerge through soft, simplified lines. A striped circular form placed on the cheek introduces a graphic accent that enlivens the composition and heightens its visual tension.
