About this work

A young girl sits on a wooden chair, holding a small round object in her hands. She wears a light blue dress with white lace trim, a white collar, and a red bow in her hair. Her legs are crossed, and she has on dark shoes with white socks. The background is a deep red, and the chair looks old with a yellowish fabric draped over it. The painting uses bold colors and thick brushstrokes, especially on her dress and the chair. The light hits her face and hands, making them stand out against the dark background. This style is called chiaroscuro.
