About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a woman looking slightly down and to the side. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a simple black garment with a white and red trim at the neck. A small, dark earring hangs from one ear, and her skin is softly shaded. The painting focuses on her face and upper shoulders, with a dark background that makes her features stand out. The way light and shadow play on her skin gives it a smooth, almost three-dimensional look. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
