About this work

In this painting, a woman sits on a ledge, wearing a red dress with a gold top and a headband. She has her hand to her face and looks sad. Next to her is a goat with a red collar. The background is dark, with a column on the right side. The woman's expression and posture suggest she is deep in thought or upset about something. The goat seems to be looking at her, as if trying to comfort her. This painting is held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
