About this work

This painting is a fragment of a larger work, focusing on the head of a woman. She wears a dark hood over her head, which frames her face and partially covers her hair. Her gaze is directed downward, and her expression is serene. The woman's clothing is simple, with a white cloth covering her neck and shoulders. The background of the painting is a muted red color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's dark hood. This painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
