About this work

This painting shows a woman with light brown hair styled in soft curls. She wears a white headpiece with small jewels and a pearl necklace. Her dress is light-colored lace with a high neckline and puffed sleeves. The artist used soft shadows to shape her face and shoulders, giving it a gentle look. This style is called *sfumato*.
