A young woman turns her head in three-quarter profile, eyes drifting beyond the frame. Her hair is a drift of platinum curls, built from loaded, buttery strokes of white, cream, and pale green that lift off the surface of the canvas. Below it, her skin is soft and rosy, flushed at the cheeks and ears, and her lips are a deep, glossy red, the one saturated note on the face.
Behind her, a broad sweep of viridian and forest green wraps around the figure, scrubbed on loosely so the weave of the canvas shows through. At the bottom, a golden-ochre wash drips down over bare white canvas, leaving the process in plain view.
