A close-up of a young person in a white headscarf and dark clothing, looking downwards
A head-and-shoulders portrait shows a young person. The subject is positioned slightly off-center to the left, facing forward but looking downwards and to the right. A white headscarf covers the hair and wraps around the head, with prominent folds visible on the left side. The face is rendered with warm, reddish-brown skin tones, with subtle shadows defining the contours of the nose, cheeks, and chin. The eyes are downcast, and the lips are closed. The subject wears a dark, possibly black or very dark brown, garment with a white collar visible at the neck. The background is a muted, dark gray or greenish-gray, with some lighter areas on the left, suggesting a light source from the upper left. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the artwork a textured appearance. There is a small, reddish-brown area at the bottom right edge of the dark garment. The overall composition is a close-up, focusing on the upper body and head of the subject.
