About this work

This painting depicts a woman's head, facing forward, under an arch. She wears a red necklace and a white headpiece with a red and black design on top. The background is a mix of brown, black, and tan colors. The woman's expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed straight ahead. The arch above her is decorated with intricate designs, adding to the overall sense of elegance. The use of tempera as the medium gives the painting a unique texture and depth.
