About this work

This painting features a woman standing in a landscape, wearing a dress and head covering. The image is rendered in a sketchy style, with visible lines and shading. The woman's face is turned slightly to her right, and her body is angled in the same direction. The background of the painting is a simple landscape with trees and a building in the distance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. For more information on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
