Painting of a young woman in a red and gold gown seated on a platform while an older attendant in green arranges her hair behind her.

Heroine from the Old Testament

A young woman in a red velvet gown with white and gold satin sleeves sits on a raised platform, her hand resting on her chest, while an older attendant in a green headscarf works at her hair behind her. Dark muted background and warm light on the figures suggest an oil painting centred on the woman's preparation.
