A bare-chested woman with long red hair, mouth open, hands to ears, in a dark landscape
Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a pale-skinned woman with long, flowing red hair, seated in a dark, rocky landscape. Her body is turned slightly to the right, with her head tilted back and mouth open. Her eyes are wide, and her arms are raised, with her hands positioned near her ears. Her upper body is bare, while a sheer, white fabric drapes around her lower body and legs, flowing downwards. A darker, possibly blue or grey, fabric is draped over her head and shoulders, partially covering her red hair. Behind her and to her right is a rugged, dark brown rock face with hints of green foliage. In the distant background on the left, faint blue-green mountains or cliffs are visible under a dark sky. The lighting highlights the woman's figure against the dark background.
