Istuva mustapukuinen nainen, "Thérèse noire" is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting shows a woman in a black dress. She's sitting and looking straight at us. The woman's face is very calm, which makes the painting feel quiet and simple. The artist used simple colors to create this feeling. The woman's dress is the main thing in the painting, and it's very dark. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique of sfumato.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
