Henchai 2016

Adam Caldwell's 2016 oil painting, "Henchai," is a portrait of a young woman draped in a striking blue fabric that partially obscures her face. The work utilizes strong chiaroscuro, with a dark background that highlights the subject's features and the folds of the blue cloth. The painting's realism and dramatic lighting evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, inviting viewers to consider the woman's thoughts and emotions.
