This striking portrait features a profile view set against a coastal landscape background. The composition is dominated by bold color contrasts - a vibrant orange-red figure against deep blue shadows and sky. The subject wears what appears to be a dark head covering or veil that flows down the right side of the image. The background reveals a serene seascape with distant cliffs and water. The lighting creates a dramatic effect, with the face appearing to glow against the cooler tones. The clean lines and sharp contrast between light and shadow give the portrait a powerful, almost sculptural quality. The piece is displayed in an ornate frame featuring copper-toned borders with geometric patterns.
