A gently tilted ivory face and sweeping auburn hair create an intimate composition, balanced by deep burgundy clothing and a cool blue-grey background.

The figure is built from simplified, angular planes. With no defined facial features, its expression emerges through the inclination of the head and the flowing line of the neck and shoulder. A narrow ochre accent brings warmth to the profile.

Layered oil paint, applied and scraped with a palette knife, gives the surface a tactile character. The contrast between the pale figure and the rich red tones creates a strong presence within a small format.

Painted on linen canvas and signed at the lower right. Presented in a natural wood floating frame, ready to hang.

Sophie Dumont is a contemporary painter based in Normandy, France. Her work explores the meeting of figurative subjects, abstraction and the expressive qualities of layered oil paint.
