This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in a fancy 19th-century outfit. Her dress is light pink with dark lace trim, and she wears a white collar with blue stitching. A small flower is pinned in her hair, and she rests her hands calmly in her lap. The background is dark and plain, keeping all focus on her. Her face is painted smoothly, with soft shadows and light on her skin. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth.
