John Hansen ArtistFigurative - Woman Reading

A realist figurative oil painting on panel titled 'Woman Reading,' measuring 30 inches by 40 inches. A woman with short, dark hair is shown backlit, seated and deeply absorbed in a book held open in her hands. She wears a embroidery detailed white blouse and a suede skirt, and her figure is illuminated by a warm, soft light from the left. The background is a dark, atmospheric interior with framed paintings and an art-crafted mirror hanging on the wall behind her. The lighting highlights the texture of the book pages and the gentle contour of her features. Oil painting by John Hansen.
