Description

A woman poses in a dramatic fashion photograph in front of a solid yellow background. She is wearing a large dress constructed from iridescent multicolored fabrics, and a matching headdress with decorative bottles on top. Her face is serious and she is fair-skinned. A large, elaborate crescent-shaped floral arrangement frames the left side of the composition and extends along the bottom of the scene. The flowers are interspersed with bare branches. Some flower petals have fallen onto the ground. The lighting is diffused and even.
