About this work

This portrait depicts a woman in a white dress with ruffles, sitting in a red chair. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she holds a fan in her right hand. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the woman's face and hands illuminated against a darker background. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate folds of the woman's dress and the delicate features of her face.
