About this work

This painting shows a woman with light skin and pale hair pulled back neatly. She’s wearing a simple, warm-colored dress with bare shoulders. The background is plain and dark, so she stands out. Her face is soft and calm, with gentle shading around her cheeks and neck. The paint looks slightly rough in spots, giving it a lived-in feel. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
