About this work

This is a small, oval portrait of a woman with light brown hair and a pale face. She’s wearing a dark dress with a high collar made of stiff, white ruffles. A gold chain peeks out from under her collar, and her hair is pulled back with a simple headband. The dark background makes her face stand out clearly. The gold frame around the painting looks fancy, with tiny dots and patterns carved into it. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and shadow this way.
