This painting shows a woman sitting still, looking straight ahead. She wears a dark dress with a white collar and cuffs, and her hands rest gently in her lap. The background is a plain, muted greenish-brown, keeping all focus on her face and clothes. Her expression is calm, almost serious, with soft lighting that makes her skin glow slightly. The brushstrokes are smooth, blending her features into the shadows without harsh lines. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
