Yours

This painting depicts the upper half of a person's body. Their body is facing us, but their head is turned to the right in a three-quarters view, looking away from us. They have pale skin, ruddy cheeks, dark eyes, short, wavy brown hair, and pink lips in a neutral expression. They are wearing a broad-brimmed brown hat with a brown bow or flower on the right and a ribbon hanging down on the left, and they are dressed in a red-brown cloak with a large white collar over dark black and brown garments. The background consists of shades of light gray, with soft, visible brushstrokes.
