Head of a Peasant Woman

A painted head-and-shoulders portrait of an older woman in a white bonnet and dark shawl, her face lit in ochre and brown against a near-black background. Thick, visible brushstrokes model her cheeks and the pale cap, giving the oil painting a rough, earthy texture.

Español: Cabeza de una campesina

Retrato de busto de una mujer mayor con cofia blanca y chal oscuro, con el rostro iluminado en ocre y marrón sobre un fondo casi negro. Pinceladas gruesas y visibles modelan sus mejillas y la cofia pálida, dando a la pintura al óleo una textura rugosa y terrosa.
