About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a white shawl, adorned with a red necklace and earrings, holding a flower in her right hand. She sits at a blue table, with a fan in her left hand, and wears a red dress underneath her shawl. The woman's dark hair is styled in a bob, and she gazes directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the woman's brightly colored clothing. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest a romanticized portrayal of a Roman woman.
