Lady in Mourning is a 1550 oil by Jacopo Tintoretto, a Mannerism work, held at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
This painting shows a woman dressed in black, with a white lace collar and a black veil covering her head. She stands in front of a simple background, with her right hand resting on a ledge or table. The woman's face is somber, and her dark clothing suggests she is in mourning. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting is noteworthy, and you can explore more of this technique by looking up the artist who used it, Jacopo Tintoretto.
Jacopo Robusti (late September or early October 1518 – 31 May 1594), best known as Tintoretto ( TIN-tə-RET-oh; Italian: ; Venetian: ), was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Venetian school.
