Woman Of Holland

Description

Woman Of Holland by William Merritt Chase shows close portrait of a woman wearing a pale bonnet and dark coat against a nearly black background. The bonnet traces the silhouette around the face and creates the brightest area above the dark garment. Warm light falls across her cheeks, with a small pale detail at the throat.
