Description

A close-up painting shows a woman with red lipstick holding a lit cigarette. The woman has dark hair and her eyes are closed. Part of another person's face is visible in the background. The background is a dark solid colour, providing contrast with the skin tones of the people in the image. The cigarette glows faintly. The overall composition highlights the details of the faces and the cigarette.
