About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting still, dressed in a dark dress with lace trim. Her hair is pulled back under a lace cap, and she wears a necklace with a cross. The background is plain and dark, so the focus stays on her. Her left hand rests on a piece of furniture, and you can see a small part of a book or paper with text. The colors are mostly dark, except for the white lace and her skin tone. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
