About this work

This painting shows a woman from the chest up, facing forward. She wears a fancy dress with a high collar and a fur-trimmed cape. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she has a decorative headpiece. The woman's dress is very detailed, with many folds and textures. The painting is done in a realistic style, with lots of attention to the woman's clothing and jewelry. The background is dark, which makes the woman stand out. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist 37404_person.
