The Muse

More about The Muse

A full-body oil painting of a graceful, elegant Black woman with dark skin and dark hair, wearing a white turban, a golden crown, a red capelike garment with a pink lining that falls to the floor, a long form-fitting red dress with long sleeves and a white lapel. She is barefoot, standing on a circular black platform, holding a light blue and gold fan with both hands. Her hair is dark and straight, falling elegantly. She wears rings on both hands and golden bracelets on both wrists. The golden crown is ornate and highly detailed with spires emanating from a thick golden band. The background is gray with swirling golden accents and a large soft yellow full moon at the top center. There are two golden floor lamps, one on each side, with glowing yellow ball-shaped lights. The one on the left has a long slender golden base, while the one on the right has a long golden base with a crossbar and an arrow-like tip at the bottom.
