About this work

This black and white painting depicts a woman in a flowing dress, holding a small object in her right hand. She is surrounded by a cloudy sky and a globe, with a child peeking out from behind her. The woman's dress is draped elegantly, and her hair is covered with a cloth. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and the globe. The cloudy sky adds a sense of atmosphere and mood to the painting. The Museum of Ethnography holds this intriguing piece, inviting viewers to explore its secrets and stories.
