About this work

A little girl sits in a chair, dressed in a gray dress with lace at the cuffs and neckline. She wears a red hat with a white bow and holds a single red rose in her right hand. The background is mostly dark, with a greenish wall behind her, and the chair she sits on is red with a gold trim. This portrait was painted in 1752, showing off the soft folds of her dress and the gentle glow on her face. The lighting makes her stand out against the dark background. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this strong light-and-dark contrast works.
