About this work

This painting shows a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Her hair is curled and pinned up, and she wears a pale yellow dress with red trim. The background is plain black, and the frame is a simple gold oval. Her face looks calm, with soft lighting on one side. The artist used smooth brushstrokes for her skin and fabric, making them look almost three-dimensional. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
