This painting shows a woman in a dark, rich background. She wears a fancy gray dress with detailed gold trim and a white underlayer. Her sleeves are puffy, and she holds a fan in one hand. Behind her are two small round paintings: one shows a building, the other a tree by water. Her face is serious, with a direct gaze. The dark background makes her dress and face stand out sharply. The small round paintings behind her look like scenes from daily life. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this strong contrast between light and dark works.
