Portrait of Magdalena Hess from Zurich

A half-length portrait of a woman with dark hair pulled up, turning her gaze toward the viewer's left. She wears a red dress with a deep V neckline and a wide sash, her hands folded in her lap against a dark, shadowed background. The painting uses warm reds against deep brown tones, with soft modeling in the face and hands.
