About this work

This painting shows a woman in a pale blue dress with silver sleeves and trim. She stands confidently, holding a fan, with a high collar and a small cap on her head. The background looks like a fancy room with red curtains and a draped fabric behind her. The dress looks soft and detailed, with a ruffled neckline and long gloves. The artist paid close attention to the light hitting her face and shoulders, making them stand out. If you want to see more like this, check out chiaroscuro.
