Detailed Description
A person is depicted from the chest up, facing directly forward. The individual has a pale, almost white, complexion with subtle pinkish tones on the lips and around the eyes. Their eyes are dark and look straight ahead. A distinctive, tall, conical hairstyle, rendered in bright yellow and orange brushstrokes, rises from the top of their head. The hair appears textured and spiky. They wear a high-collared, long-sleeved jacket in a muted light brown or tan color, fastened down the front with several round, darker brown buttons. The jacket has a slightly rumpled appearance, with visible brushstrokes suggesting folds and texture. The background is divided into two main sections. To the left of the figure, dense, dark green and blue-green foliage fills the space, depicted with broad, visible brushstrokes that create a sense of depth and texture. To the right, a winding path, rendered in shades of light brown, purple, and grey, recedes into the distance. Along the path's edge and in the upper right, more sparse green foliage and some lighter, almost white, vertical elements are visible, possibly tree trunks or distant structures.
