About this work

This woman wears a tall black headdress with golden pins sticking out. Her robe is bright red with green and purple patterns, and her sleeves are wide. Pink flowers float in the top corners, and her face is calm with dark eyebrows and a small smile. The bold colors and sharp lines make her stand out against the plain background. Her outfit looks formal, like something for a special event. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style fits into bigger art trends.
