About this work

This woman has dark hair pinned back with a headband of white dots. She’s holding a long necklace with a bird pendant, and her dress is covered in a pattern of flowers and stars. The background looks like a curtain with a red-and-gold design. Her pose is calm, almost like she’s lost in thought. The artist used simple shapes and bold outlines, which makes the colors pop.
