This painting shows a woman in a blue-green dress with white lace at the neckline and cuffs. Her hair is curly, and she wears a gold necklace with a pendant. Behind her, a dark landscape with trees and a sky blends into the background. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding her sleeve. The background is softly blurred, making her stand out. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
