About this work

This painting shows a woman with a serious look, holding a bow and arrow. She wears a light tunic over a dark skirt, with a fur draped over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a crescent moon on her head. The dark background makes her stand out sharply. The way light hits her face and body creates strong contrasts. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting technique works.
