Portrait of a Chinese Woman 

Augustus John was a prominent British portrait artist known for his expressive brushwork and bold use of color. This portrait of a Chinese woman, painted in a style that is characteristic of John's work, captures the subject's essence with a few deft strokes. The woman's face, rendered in a naturalistic manner, suggests an air of quiet contemplation. John's loose brushstrokes add a sense of dynamism and energy to the composition, conveying the sitter's inner life.
