About this work

A woman sits with her hands resting on a red chair beside her. She wears a dark dress with gold trim and a high-necked collar, plus a dark head covering. Her gaze is steady, and the background is a plain, muted green. The red chair looks worn, with visible tears and patches. This painting is simple but shows careful attention to her clothing details. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
