This close-up shows a woman with long red hair draped over one shoulder. She’s wearing a dark cloak and a red garment over her chest. In her hands, she holds a small wooden cross tied with sticks. Her face is mostly hidden, but the way light hits her hair and skin creates soft shadows. The cross looks rough and simple, like something handmade. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
