Original artwork description:

This striking oil painting on wood panel, "The Model," captures a female figure in an urban setting. The palette is dominated by blacks, grays, and deep ochres, with vibrant orange and yellow accents suggesting distant lights, creating a mysterious and dramatic atmosphere.

The central figure is a young woman, depicted with a style merging realism with expressive, loose brushwork. Her direct, penetrating gaze connects with the viewer, conveying vulnerability or defiance. She wears a bulky jacket and dark clothing, highlighting her face and dynamically rendered blonde hair.

The abstract background, with broad strokes, evokes an urban landscape of geometric structures and luminous glints. The thickly textured ground anchors the figure. The overall style is contemporary and gestural, imbuing the composition with energy.
