Brief Description

Head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman with dark, curly hair and a light dress, looking left

Detailed Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman faces towards the left side of the frame. Her head is turned slightly, and her gaze is directed to the left. She has fair skin with rosy cheeks and lips. Her dark, curly hair is styled high on her head, possibly adorned with a dark band or hat that creates a dark, feathery silhouette around her head. Her dark eyes are visible, and her nose is small and straight. She wears a light-colored garment, possibly cream or pale yellow, which appears to be off-the-shoulder, revealing her neck and upper chest. The fabric of her dress is rendered with loose, visible brushstrokes, particularly around the shoulders and bust, appearing gathered. The background is a textured, golden-brown color, with visible brushstrokes that are more distinct on the right side. Lighting appears to come from the left, illuminating her face and the front of her shoulder, creating soft shadows on the right side of her face and neck.
