About this work

This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders against a plain, dark background. She wears a white collar and a dark, high-crowned hat. Her hair is pulled back, and her expression is calm but serious. The artist used soft shading to create a gentle glow on her face. The dark background makes her features stand out. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow shape portraits like this one.
