About this work

You see a woman in a dark room, holding a single white flower close to her face. No one knows who painted it or when. The museum calls it *Flori*, which just means “flowers” in Latin. The way the light falls on her hands and the petal feels almost accidental—like a snapshot, not a posed portrait. To see how other artists used light this simply, look up the technique chiaroscuro.
