Detailed Description
A full-length depiction shows a person standing upright against a plain, light beige background. The person has dark hair styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with small red ribbons and delicate floral ornaments. Their face is pale with closed eyes and a small, red mouth. They wear an elaborate, multi-layered robe. The main garment is a light blue-green color, patterned with subtle dark blue floral motifs. A prominent red sash, tied in a large bow with long trailing ends, cinches the waist. Underneath, layers of brown, light yellow, and white fabric are visible, with a ruffled, lace-like white trim appearing at the collar and along the edges of the sleeves and lower hem. The bottom edge of the robe is a vibrant red, also featuring a white ruffled trim. The person holds a light brown, elongated stringed instrument in their left hand, resting it against their body. Their right hand holds a thin, dark bow with a red string, positioned across the instrument's strings. The instrument has a small, decorative, dark-colored element near its lower end.
