This painting shows a woman with dark hair and a serious expression. She wears a simple white flower in her hair and a high-necked, dark dress. The background is a mix of dark and light brushstrokes, almost like a stormy sky. Notice the way her face stands out sharply against the messy background. It’s like the artist wanted to focus all your attention on her. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
