This painting shows a woman in a dark blue dress with lace cuffs and a high neckline. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a fan in one hand. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her. The dress looks rich but simple, with no fancy patterns. The artist used soft lighting to show the shape of her face and clothes. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
