Visual Summary

Brief Description

A young woman in a light tunic, yellow skirt, wreath, holding a closed fan

Detailed Description

A waist-up painting depicts a woman with light skin and dark hair, positioned slightly to her left, gazing downwards. She wears a light cream or off-white sleeveless tunic with a V-neckline, layered over a darker garment, and a long, flowing skirt in shades of yellow and ochre. A necklace of small, light-colored beads adorns her neck. Her dark hair is styled with a wreath of dark leaves and small, light-colored flowers. Her right arm is bent, with her hand gently touching the side of her head or hair, and her elbow rests on a dark, rectangular element to her right. Her left arm hangs loosely by her side, holding a closed, white fan. The background is indistinct and muted, featuring lighter grey-brown tones on the left and darker, more shadowed brown-grey areas on the right, creating a shallow sense of depth. Visible brushstrokes contribute to a soft, painterly appearance.
