About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting with one arm resting on a red cushion. She’s wearing a pale yellow sleeve and a dark, loose garment draped over her shoulder. Her other hand holds a piece of fabric near her chest, and her hair is pulled back into two small buns. The dark background makes her skin and the red cloth stand out sharply. The way light and shadow separate her body from the background looks deliberate. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
