You see a portrait of a woman from the Kinzigtal region. She's sitting in a simple setting. The painting is interesting because it's a study, made to prepare for a larger work, and the artist used both sides of the canvas. The artist was experimenting with different techniques and ideas in this study. This approach allowed the artist to try out new things without committing to a final product. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
