Yours

This painting features a woman standing, with her body slightly turned to the right and her head facing downward. She has light skin, pink cheeks, and dark hair partially covered by a red-and-white patterned head scarf. Her face is in a neutral expression, and her left hand is on her hip. She is wearing a dark, long-sleeved shirt and a light blue skirt. The background is entirely made up of dense green leaves with some brown branches. The brushstrokes in this image are visible, giving a feathered texture to the painting.
