Yours

This painting is a portrait of a woman from the waist up. She has delicate facial features, with pale skin, rosy cheeks, large blue eyes, fine eyebrows, and a small smile. She is facing us. Her hair appears light gray and is styled up, with small blue and pink flowers on the top of her head. She wears an off-the-shoulder white gown, with a floral garland across her chest that is comprised of small pink, blue, and yellow flowers. She also has teal fabric draped around her and a pink ribbon tied around her waist. The background is mostly dark gray with hints of brown trees below cloudy skies.
