This is a close-up portrait of a woman with dark, curly hair pulled back. She’s wearing a simple necklace of small round beads and a light-colored ruffled collar over a red dress. Her gaze is steady, and the background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her face. The painting looks like it was made to show her expression clearly, with soft lighting on her skin. The artist used smooth brushstrokes to blend her features. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
