Portrait Painting with Hands Holding Lemons - Citrus Glow - Lemon Edition

The visual

This female portrait occupies the entire frame, captured close up of the face. The light green eyes dominate the composition, framed by marked brown eyebrows and subtle yellow makeup. The skin, worked in broad impasto, blends beige and peach tones with touches of brown shadow that sculpt the relief of the face. The bright red lips form a striking focal point, as do the nails lacquered in the same carmine shade. A flowered orange scarf, dotted with green and red touches, crowns the head and brings a summery note. Two hands delicately hold radiant yellow lemons, the granular texture of which contrasts with the softness of the pastel blue background. The pictorial style, close to knife painting, gives the whole thing a tactile relief.
