The pose is relaxed and slightly turned away, hair falling loosely forward, the whole piece built from broad, confident strokes rather than tight detail.

Light and shadow do most of the work here, warm tones catching where the form turns toward the eye, deep brown pooling into the negative space around it.

Initialed “AE” near the lower portion of the composition. A gallery label from Art Frenzie is present on the reverse, referencing “10 Years of Excellence, 1996-2006”. See less
