About this work

This black-and-white portrait shows a woman with curly hair tied back. She wears a light-colored dress with ruffles at the neckline and sleeves. Her hands rest in her lap, and a small necklace is visible around her neck. The photo looks soft, with gentle shading on her face and hair. The dark background makes her stand out clearly.
