About this work

This print shows a portrait of a woman, Miss Stephens. It's interesting because it was published in London by William Holland. The fact that it was printed and published suggests it was meant to be widely available, which was not always the case with portraits at that time. Check out the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists use contrast to create depth in their work.
