About this work

The painting shows a woman with dark hair looking straight at us. She has a melancholy expression. The artist used pastel tones to create a soft glow. The dark frame around the portrait makes the colors stand out. This is an interesting effect because it makes the woman's face seem brighter. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: cross-hatching.
