This painting shows a woman sitting down, dressed in a high-necked, light-colored dress with long sleeves. She wears a wide-brimmed hat decorated with flowers and a pearl necklace. Her left hand rests on a dark chair, and her right hand holds a fan. The background is plain and dark, keeping the focus on her. Her outfit looks simple but elegant, with a small brooch pinning the dress at the waist. The way the light hits her face and clothes makes them stand out against the dark background. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
