Brief Description

A bust-length portrait of a young woman with voluminous curly brown hair and a low-cut dress

Detailed Description

This vertical oil painting depicts a bust-length portrait of a young woman against a dark, plain background. The woman's head is turned slightly to her right, and she gazes in the same direction, out of the frame. She has fair skin with rosy cheeks and full, red lips. Her dark, curly hair is voluminous, framing her face and extending to her shoulders. Her dark eyes are open, and her eyebrows are finely arched. She wears a dark brown, low-cut dress with a wide, white, ruffled or lace trim along the neckline, revealing her shoulders and upper chest. The fabric of her dress appears soft and draped. The background is a uniform dark brown, almost black, with a subtle lighter area directly behind her head. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting her face and chest and creating soft shadows on the right side of her face and neck. The subject is softly illuminated against a deep, muted backdrop.
