This painting shows a woman with light brown hair pulled back neatly. She wears a dark dress with lace trim and a white collar, plus big earrings. Her face is turned slightly to the side, and the background is a plain brown oval shape. The brushstrokes on her dress and hair look soft and blended, especially around her face. The dark background makes her skin and clothes stand out. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
