About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting with one arm resting on a dark, curved armrest. She’s wearing a light-colored dress with lace trim at the neckline and a belt with a few shiny brooches. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s looking straight ahead with a calm expression. The background is plain and dark, focusing all attention on her. The way the light hits her face and dress makes her stand out clearly. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
