About this work

A woman lies on a couch, half-covered by a blue blanket and a white sheet. Her arm rests on her head, and her other hand holds a golden fan. The background looks like a garden with trees and a dark sky. Her skin is smooth, and the light hits her body in soft spots. This painting uses strong light and shadow to make the figure stand out. The way the light falls on her skin is very clear. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this effect works.
