About this work

This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders turned slightly to the side. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark necklace with round beads. The background is plain and dark, focusing all attention on her. The way light and shadow separate her face from the background is very precise. It makes her skin look smooth and three-dimensional. Look up *chiaroscuro* to learn about this lighting technique.
