About this work

This portrait painting depicts a young woman with dark, curly hair and blue eyes, wearing a white dress with a pink shawl draped over her left shoulder. The woman's right arm rests on a table, holding a quill pen, while her left arm is folded across her body. A blue ribbon with a silver brooch adorns her left shoulder. The woman's gaze is directed to the right, and her expression appears contemplative. The background of the painting features a soft, muted color palette, with hints of greenery and a subtle landscape visible behind the subject.
