Portrait at eye level, square on, head and shoulders of a strikingly beautiful woman with very dark skin, a long neck and sharp cheekbones, high fashion casting, against a clean deep-blue dusk gradient, darkest at the top edge and lifting at the horizon, entirely featureless. The skin is rendered smooth and even to the point of porcelain, and freckles are drawn in deliberately across the nose and cheeks, dark and scattered and held razor sharp on top of it. The brows are bleached to pale copper and a saturated emerald line is worked along the lower lash line. A deep red lip. One large soft frontal source plus a warm rim running down the bridge of the nose, the brow ridge and one cheek edge, giving a warm contour against the cool ground. A large ruffled collar stands up around the neck and fills the lower half of the frame to both side edges, printed with orchids in magenta, ochre and white — the print carries all the colour in the frame. One earring of two open links. A close-shaved head. Unblinking and frontal, eyes wide open straight down the lens, mouth closed and neutral.
