ArtistA previously unknown painting by John William Godward
A close-up highly detailed oil painting of a young, pale-skinned woman with dark hair, styled in an elaborate bun at the back of her head, and curled ringlets framing her face. She wears a deep red headscarf that wraps around her hair. Her profile is visible as she gazes downwards with green-hazel eyes. Her lips are slightly parted and pink, with a hint of red. She has delicate rosy blush on her cheeks. She is adorned with a golden beaded necklace and a single golden, teardrop-shaped earring with an ornate, fluted design. She is dressed in classical attire, including a deep purple gown with a golden braided trim along the neckline and shoulder, and a turquoise-blue draped sash or shawl. The background features a mottled, textured wall in shades of beige and light brown, with hints of white and darker brown veining, resembling marble. The lighting highlights her face and features, casting subtle shadows that give depth to the portrait. The painting style is realistic with a soft, ethereal quality, reminiscent of Pre-Raphaelite art.
