Description
-
A detailed, photorealistic colour portrait of an elderly woman pictured from the chest up. Dressed in a white, collared shirt with Chinese buttons against a pale blue background, the woman gazes directly at the viewer with her hair combed back neatly. With layers of fine, smoothly blended brushstrokes, the portrait captures the translucency of skin. Gold leaf has been applied to the woman's earrings.
