Elegant Portrait of a Thoughtful Woman

More about Elegant Portrait of a Thoughtful Woman

A full body portrait of a young woman with fair skin, wearing a large, wide-brimmed gray hat that covers most of her head, and a smooth, unadorned hat band. She faces forward with her head turned to the right side of the canvas, looking down, and her eyes are closed in thought. Her lips are a dark red color. Her body is nude, with her back slightly arched, and she is leaning on a dark wooden wall. Her right arm is bent and slightly raised, with her hand resting on a brown violin or cello that stands upright beside her. The instrument is dark brown with a smooth finish and has a white bridge and strings. The background is a dark, warm gray, with subtle horizontal lines suggesting wood panels. A thin, dark rod with a curved handle hangs vertically on the left side of the wall. On the right, a similar dark rod hangs vertically, with a small dark circle in the upper right corner suggesting an attachment point. The woman's lower back and buttocks are visible as she sits on a stone bench or pedestal that runs across the bottom of the image. The entire image has a muted, elegant, and classic feel.
