About this work
A woman with long wavy hair is shown half-length, her head bowed and eyes lowered in a quiet, private moment. She wears a red scarf hung with rows of coin-like discs and dangling jeweled earrings, and an orange dress with a black bodice covered in bead and mirror embroidery in a diamond pattern; her hands rest folded in her lap. The plain grey wall behind her isolates the figure and her costume.
Painted with smooth, carefully blended brushwork, the picture models the face and hands with soft transitions of light and shadow while the embroidered bodice is picked out in crisp, jewel-like touches of gold, cream, and orange. Warm light falls from the upper left, catching her cheek and the sheen of the fabric. The controlled, polished finish and downcast pose give the portrait a demure, contemplative mood.
