This painting shows a young girl. She's dressed up and looks very serious. The artist put a lot of detail into her face and clothes, which makes the portrait feel intimate. The girl's expression is quiet and calm. The artist used small lines to create texture and depth in the portrait. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of engraving.
