This painting shows a woman sitting inside a simple wooden house. She’s bent over a wooden table, holding a book or paper. Sunlight streams through a window behind her, lighting up a vase with flowers and a dark wooden wheel nearby. The walls are rough, and the floor looks uneven. The bright light on her face and the shadows under the table suggest strong contrasts. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, like on the wall and the woman’s clothes. Try looking up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama.
