From the collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art
This painting depicts a young woman with a gilded wreath on her head. She wears a dark-colored dress and has a necklace around her neck. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the dark colors of the woman's clothing. The woman's face is painted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in her features. Her eyes are cast downward, giving her an introspective appearance. The use of gold in the wreath adds a sense of luxury and elegance to the painting. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
