Visual Summary

Brief Description

Young person with reddish-brown hair, light skin, wearing a red garment and a golden halo

Detailed Description

A head and shoulders portrait depicts a young person with light skin, centered against a plain, light background. The subject has a round face, a small nose, and a small mouth, with light-colored eyes that gaze slightly downwards. Their reddish-brown hair is parted in the middle and falls to their shoulders. A faint golden halo encircles the top of their head. They are dressed in a red outer garment with a wide, round neckline, adorned with a white, lace-like pattern along its upper edge. Beneath the red garment, a darker, possibly brown, undergarment is visible. A dark, possibly brown or black, cloak or fabric is draped over the subject's left shoulder and upper arm. White highlights or folds are visible on the red garment, particularly on the chest area. The background is a neutral, light grey or beige color.
