Woman in red and white skirt between two snake-entwined trees, holding a clear cup
Detailed Description
A central female figure stands between two trees, set against a dark brown background with a thin blue line at the top. A wide reddish-brown border frames the square composition. The woman, positioned slightly right of center and facing left in profile, has light skin, dark hair, and a slender build. She wears a sheer white veil over her head and shoulders, a dark blue short-sleeved blouse, and a long skirt that is half white and half red, with a gold patterned border at the hem. Gold jewelry adorns her, including earrings, multiple necklaces, armbands, bracelets, and anklets. Her right arm is bent, holding a small, clear, goblet-like cup towards a snake. Her left arm is bent, with her open hand extended forward. The tree on the left has a light brown trunk and a large, dense, dark green canopy with lighter green highlights. A black snake with a lighter underside is coiled around its trunk, its head raised towards the woman's right hand. Another black snake is visible within the upper part of this tree's canopy. The tree on the right has a similar light brown trunk and a dark green canopy with more yellow-green highlights. A third black snake is coiled around its trunk, and a fourth snake is seen near the top right of this tree's canopy. The ground beneath the figures and trees is a lighter brown.
