Mary Wiles, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

A black and white, medium shot portrait features a fair-skinned adult woman with raised hands. The light source originates from below, casting upward shadows that emphasize her features. She is wearing a dark, ribbed top. The woman gazes upwards with a serene expression. The background is a gradient of dark grays and blacks, contributing to the high-contrast monochrome aesthetic. The composition is simple, drawing the eye to the woman's face and hands, and the interplay of light and shadow.
