This painting shows a woman in a pale, high-necked dress with puffed sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a necklace with a small flower pinned to her shoulder. The background is dark, making her face and clothes stand out. The brushstrokes are soft, especially on her skin and fabric, giving it a smooth look. This style is called *sfumato*—where colors blend gently to avoid harsh lines. Look up sfumato next to see how artists like this used it to create dreamy effects.
