About this work

This painting shows a woman in a white dress, standing in front of a door. She has her back to the viewer and is looking over her left shoulder. Her dark hair is pulled up into a bun. The woman's dress is loose and flowing, with a low neckline and a full skirt. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. Her left arm is straight, with her hand hanging down by her side. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, with hints of brown and yellow. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. You can learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro.
