The left side showcases a woman in a flowing, highly stylized off-white dress with gold ornamentation. She has dark hair pulled back into a bun, fair skin, and red lips, and she looks downward slightly, holding delicate strands of fabric in her hands that stretch from her dress. The background on the left is a textured, shimmering gold.
