This painting shows a woman with light skin and pale blue eyes. She wears a white dress with lace trim and a flower garland on her shoulder. Her hair is styled in soft curls with a few flowers tucked in. The artist used gentle brushstrokes to make her skin glow against the dark background. The flowers add a touch of color to the otherwise simple outfit. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
