Portret de femeie

This painting shows a woman sitting still in a dark room. She wears a black dress with lace trim and a sheer veil over her head. Her hands rest on the arm of a chair, and she has a few rings and a bracelet on. The background is plain, but her face and clothes stand out clearly. The lace on her dress is detailed, and her jewelry looks heavy and ornate. The way the light hits her face makes it stand out against the dark background. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
