Floarea cu draperie

About this work

This painting shows a woman with her back to us, her dark hair pulled back. She’s wearing a loose, dark garment over one shoulder, with a white cloth tied around her neck. The background is a plain, muted green, and her skin glows softly where light hits it. Notice how the light and shadow play across her face and shoulders—it’s almost like the artist used a special way to make parts of her look three-dimensional. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this effect works.
