This painting shows a woman with pale blonde hair covered by a light headscarf. She’s wearing a simple pink top and a dark blue-green cloak, holding a small object in her hands. The background is dark, making her face stand out clearly. Her expression is quiet, almost sad, with a slight frown. The way the light hits her face and the shadows around her create a strong contrast. This kind of lighting is called chiaroscuro.
