A woman stands holding a small book or box tied with red strings. She wears a white cap and ruffled collar, a dark dress with gold embroidered sleeves, and a white glove on one hand. The background is plain and dark, putting all focus on her. Her face looks calm, but the red strings on the book or box add a small splash of color. The way light hits her collar and face makes them stand out sharply. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
