About the artwork

This atmospheric painting captures the moment of a woman walking away from us and invites the viewer to reflect on her story. The focus is on the woman's elegant legs, which are covered in black stockings and high-heeled shoes, while she wears a short, shiny skirt. The scene is depicted from a low perspective, which makes the figure appear dominant and at the same time preserves a certain anonymity, as her face is not visible. The painting style is impressionistic with visible brushstrokes that give the picture a soft, almost dreamy quality and emphasise the texture of the canvas.

The background is in muted, earthy tones, suggesting an alley or narrow passageway. A wall on the left and implied greenery on the right, possibly plants in pots, create an urban yet organic setting. The light falls softly on the path and the woman's legs, creating a subtle depth and sense of movement. The colour palette is rich with warm browns, beiges and greens, accentuated by the deep black of the woman's clothing and shoes. This painting exudes a mixture of elegance, mystery and a certain melancholy. It is a study in form and light that celebrates the beauty of the human figure and the evocative power of painting. The composition and colour scheme create a timeless aesthetic that is both modern and classic and captivates the viewer.
