This painting shows a woman from the waist up, looking at the viewer with a neutral expression. She wears a white dress with a dark trim and a gold necklace. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she has a small earring in her left ear. The woman's right arm is bent across her chest, and her left arm is not visible. The background is dark, which makes the woman stand out. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, look up Sebastiano del Piombo.
