About this work

This painting shows a woman in a white dress with a floral pattern, holding a flower. The background is dark, with a curtain or drapery behind her. The woman's face is serious, and her eyes look straight ahead. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a high neckline. The dress is loose-fitting, with a belt around her waist. The flower she holds is white, with a long stem. The painting is done in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
