About this work

This painting shows a woman with light brown hair pulled back, wearing a simple white dress with a low neckline. Her face is turned slightly toward us, with calm eyes and soft pink cheeks. The background is dark and blurry, making her stand out clearly. Notice how the light hits her face and shoulders, creating smooth shadows. This effect makes her skin and clothes look three-dimensional. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
