Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman with a pearl earring, blue garment, and yellow head covering against a dark background

Detailed Description

A woman is shown in a head and shoulders view, positioned against a dark, almost black background. Her body is turned slightly to the left, while her head is turned over her left shoulder, and her gaze is directed forward, meeting the viewer's eyes. She has pale skin, light-colored eyes, a small nose, and a closed mouth with slightly parted lips. Her dark hair is pulled back and covered by a draped fabric that appears to be a yellow or ochre color, falling over the back of her head and extending down her right shoulder. A prominent, tear-drop shaped pearl earring hangs from her visible left earlobe, catching the light. She wears a blue garment, possibly a cloak or shawl, which is draped over her shoulders and upper body, showing soft folds and highlights. A small white collar or trim is visible at her neck, just above the blue fabric. The lighting comes from the upper left, illuminating her face, the pearl, and the folds of her blue garment, creating a strong contrast with the dark background.
