About this work

This is a portrait of a woman in a dark, wide-brimmed hat with a feather sticking up. She’s wearing a deep blue dress with a white collar and bow at the neck. The background is plain and dark, keeping all the focus on her face. The painting uses soft light and shadow to make her face look three-dimensional. Her expression is calm, almost serious, with a slight smile. Check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark to create depth.
