Visual Summary

Brief Description

Woman in silver armor and plumed helmet, holding a dark shield with a face of snakes

Detailed Description

A full-length portrait of a woman stands in a dark, dimly lit interior, facing forward with a direct gaze towards the viewer. Her pale face is framed by long, wavy dark brown hair that falls over her shoulders. She wears a silver helmet with ornate gold decorative elements and a prominent dark green plume on top. Her torso is encased in a polished silver breastplate with intricate gold trim along the edges. A dark green sash with gold details crosses diagonally over her chest from her right shoulder to her left hip. Below the armor, she wears a rich, dark red skirt adorned with elaborate gold embroidery and scalloped edges, revealing a darker fabric underneath. In her left hand, on the viewer's right, she holds the hilt of a sword, partially obscured. Her right arm, on the viewer's left, holds a large, dark, oval-shaped shield. The shield features a prominent, raised central motif of a face with snake-like hair, rendered in a dark, metallic tone. The background is predominantly dark brown, with a lighter, arched opening visible behind her right shoulder, suggesting an architectural element.
