The painting depicts a woman in a black dress with a red skirt, wearing a black mask that covers her eyes. She is shown in motion, with her right arm raised and her left arm bent at the elbow. Her dress is flowing behind her, and she appears to be dancing or moving quickly. The woman's attire is formal, with a low neckline and a full skirt. Her mask adds a sense of mystery to her appearance. The background of the painting is not visible, but the woman's movement suggests that she may be in a crowded or lively setting. The painting is a print, and its title is "Diablotin." It is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Vernier, Charles.
