This painting shows a woman sitting sideways, her body half-turned from us. She wears a dark green dress with a high collar, and her hair is pulled back. The background is plain and dark, making her face stand out. Her hands rest in her lap, and her expression is calm but serious. The lighting hits her face softly, leaving the rest of the room in shadow. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this strong light-and-dark contrast works.
