About this work

This painting depicts a nude woman standing in front of a chair, facing away from the viewer. Her dark hair is pulled back into a bun, and she has her right hand raised to her head. The woman's body is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to the play of light and shadow on her skin. The background of the painting is a muted yellow-brown color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's pale skin. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
