A beautiful contemporary expressionist painting of a woman with a head scarf and crossed arms. Her facial expression is very pensive and she could be from some small village dressed in what seems to be traditional rural attire. The art style is rather painterly and expressionist and recalls a few French masters such as Matisse. Very interesting smaller template of the subject in the top right corner of the painting. Beautiful warm colors and texture on this painting! There is visible paint on all four edges of the painting. Unsigned.
