This painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a black dress with a low neckline. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she has a subtle, enigmatic expression. The background is a muted grey. The woman's gaze is directed towards the viewer, creating a sense of quiet intimacy. Her hands are placed in her lap, adding to the overall feeling of stillness. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and nuance to the portrait. This painting is held at the São Paulo Museum of Art.
