Description

A close-up portrait captures a woman's face, her eyes gently closed. Her skin is lightly freckled, and her face is adorned with a smattering of small white flakes that look like snow or perhaps dandruff. The white flakes continue into the hair line. The composition is tight, focusing on the texture of the skin and the contrast of the white particles against her complexion. A snippet of German text is visible in the lower-left corner of the frame.
