This is a close-up portrait of a woman with light brown hair pulled back. She wears a dark dress with a white lace collar and a simple brooch at her throat. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her face. The painting uses soft shading to show her features clearly. Her expression is calm but serious, with a slight tilt to her head. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting technique works.
