About this work

This painting depicts a woman in a lavish black dress with white lace trim, adorned with a large red and white cloak draped over her left arm. She sits on an ornate gold chair, with a small red box on the right side of the chair. The background features a large white curtain and a column on the left side. The woman's attire and the ornate chair suggest a sense of luxury and grandeur. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
