About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a stone balcony. She’s wearing a dark dress and a hat, reading a book. Behind her, there’s a potted plant with green leaves and red flowers, a small table with a vase, and a big tree outside the window. The woman looks relaxed, like she’s enjoying her quiet time. The light hits her face and the plant, making shadows on the wall and floor. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
