Black and white full-length portrait of a person in a patterned garment, standing, looking down
Detailed Description
The image is a vertical, full-length portrait of a single figure, rendered in black and white tones. The figure stands against a plain, dark background. The person is depicted in a three-quarter profile, facing towards the viewer's right, with their head gently tilted downwards. Their body is slightly turned, creating a subtle S-curve. They wear a long, flowing garment, which is light-toned with dark outlines and details. The garment features wide, voluminous sleeves. Two circular emblems, each containing a complex geometric pattern, are prominently displayed on the upper sleeves. A dark, patterned sash cinches the waist. The lower part of the garment extends to the ground, showing layers of fabric at the feet. The person's hair is dark, styled upwards into a bun on top of the head, with some strands framing the face. Their face is light-toned, with delicate features, and their gaze is directed downwards. One hand is partially visible, covered by the sleeve, near the chest. The background is a solid, dark gray. The left and right edges of the artwork are bordered by a repeating diamond pattern, where each diamond contains a smaller, lighter square. A small, rectangular white label is visible on the right border, near the middle.
