About this work
Shown half-length, a young woman in a low-cut black gown wears a dark, jeweled and feathered headpiece and cradles a mandolin in her lap, one hand resting across its strings. A pale bundle of fabric or fur lies at her feet, and the setting is otherwise undefined.
Warm reds, ochres and golds streak the background in loose drips and scumbled strokes, set against the deep black of the dress. The face is smoothly modeled in soft light, while the surrounding surfaces are built with thick, expressive brushwork, giving the portrait a moody, romantic feel.
