About this work

This painting shows a woman in a blue headscarf and an orange dress. She is looking down, her hands clasped in prayer. The background is dark, and her face is softly lit. The woman's eyes are cast downward, and her lips are slightly parted. The folds of her blue headscarf are carefully rendered, and the orange of her dress stands out against the dark background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The painting is held at the São Paulo Museum of Art. Next, you might want to look up the artist, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.
