About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with curly hair and a fancy collar. She’s wearing a ruffled dress with a bow at the neck. The background is plain, so you focus on her face and clothes. The name at the bottom says “Mrs. Anne Killigrew” and notes she painted it herself. The style looks polished, with smooth shading on her face and dress. Check out the Baroque movement to see how artists used drama and detail like this.
