About this work

A woman stands in front of a red curtain, her hands clasped together. She wears a dark blue dress with a white collar and a white head covering that drapes over her shoulders. Behind her, a landscape shows a road, some trees, and a small white dog sitting near a wall. Her face looks calm but serious, with a simple gold ring on her finger. The red curtain behind her is bright and stands out against her dark clothes. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
