This painting shows a woman’s face in profile, looking slightly downward. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark dress with a hint of red at the collar. The background is a rough, muted gray, with faint shapes that look like a window or curtain behind her. The artist used soft brushstrokes to blend light and shadow, especially on her cheek and neck. This makes her skin look smooth and three-dimensional. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for depth.
