This black-and-white print shows a woman sitting with one arm resting on a chair. She wears a fancy dress with a low neckline and ruffled sleeves. Her hair is curled, and she holds a fan in one hand. The artist used shading to make her face and clothes look three-dimensional. The background is dark, which makes her stand out. Next, look up Baroque to see more art from this dramatic style.
