Bildbeschreibung
Shown from the waist up and in front of a dark background, a pale-skinned girl looks over her shoulder at us in this vertical portrait panting. She has wide-set hazel eyes under curved brows, a delicate nose, flushed cheeks, and her narrow, pink lips are closed over a pointed chin. Her brown hair falls in bangs to either side of her forehead and is otherwise pulled back. Her body is angled to our right almost in profile. Her white garment has a low neckline, high waist, and short, ruched sleeves. White fabric tucked into the neckline opens out to each side like a collar. The shadowy brown background behind her glows a little brighter around her head and neck.
