About this work

This painting shows a woman in a flowing, jewel-covered dress. She’s posed with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand on her thigh, looking off to the side. The dress is dark red with gold embroidery and beads, and her hair is loose with a few decorative pins. The background is dark and blurry, keeping all focus on her. The gold frame looks old and ornate, with a carved pattern around the edge. The artist’s name, *Schmutzler Leopold*, is written at the bottom, along with the year *1907*—though the painting might be older. If you like this style, try looking up *chiaroscuro* next.
