Lady with candle

A three-quarter portrait of a woman in a blue and gold damask gown with a white bodice, pearl necklace, and earring, her head turned to the left as she looks upward. A candle on the table to the left casts a warm light that models her face and the embroidery while the background remains dark. The painting uses Baroque-style chiaroscuro with smooth brushwork and a restrained palette of blues, golds, and flesh tones, accented by a small red ribbon at the neckline.
