This painting shows two women sitting close together. One has her arm around the other’s shoulders, while the second woman rests her hand on the first. Both wear loose, flowing robes in warm browns and reds, and the background is plain and dark. A small dog sits between them, looking up. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark skin tones to make the figures stand out. The clothing looks soft and textured, with careful brushstrokes. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
