More about Elegant Ink Wash Beauty in Lotus Reflections

An art nouveau ink wash painting on rice paper depicts a beautiful dark-haired woman in a flowing, highly decorative blue and black dress with long sleeves. She stands in a pool of water, her reflection visible in the rippling surface. She has a serious expression with dark lips and a subtle cat eye. Her hair is black and styled in a traditional bun with delicate drop earrings. The dress is decorated with various patterns including swirls, lotus flowers, and other floral motifs. The background features more black and white ink wash style lotus flowers, some in bloom and some as leaves. Some of the lotus flowers in the foreground are blue and grey instead of black and white. The colors used are muted blues, blacks, grays, and whites with a light peach hue in the background to give a vintage feel.
