About this work

This is a small oval portrait of a woman with long dark hair and a red cap. She’s wearing a white collar with a dark shawl over her shoulders, and a bright green patterned sleeve peeks out. The background is plain, and the edges of the painting have a gold frame with a cracked, aged look. The woman’s face is lit softly, especially on her cheekbones, while the shadows deepen around her chin and neck. This play of light and dark gives her a calm, almost three-dimensional look. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*.
