About this work

This painting shows a woman in a long, draped robe, holding a scroll in her right hand. Her left arm is bent, and her head is turned slightly to the right. She stands against a dark background. The woman's robe is intricately folded, with layers of fabric visible. Her feet are bare, and she wears a head covering that drapes down her back. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up lithography.
