This painting shows a young girl facing sideways, her hair pulled back neatly. She wears a dark dress with a high neckline, and the background is almost all black. The lighting hits her face and shoulder, leaving the rest in shadow. Her expression is calm but serious, with a slight tilt to her head. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her dress and the dark background. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create drama in paintings.
