A woman with cropped white curls turns her head over her shoulder, meeting the viewer with a cool, guarded gaze against a deep teal ground. Pavel Filin builds her face from small strokes of green, gold and warm flesh tones, while gold flecks catch the light on her dark beaded dress. This original oil painting balances a quiet, poised mood with lively, visible brushwork, and is available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
