A woman sits in a chair, dressed in a white gown with lace trim and long sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a headband with a brooch. She holds a red fan in one hand and rests the other on a small table beside her. The background shows a dark, blurry landscape with faint hills and trees. Notice how the artist uses soft lighting to make her face glow against the shadows. The fan’s bright red stands out against her pale dress. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
