This painting shows a woman in profile, her face turned slightly away. She wears a dark dress with a white collar and a brooch of purple flowers at her neck. The background is mostly dark, focusing all attention on her. The artist used soft brushstrokes to blend light and shadow across her skin and hair. This creates a gentle glow on her face and neck. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
