About this image
This expressive watercolor illustration features a graceful woman in soft side profile, her dark curled updo adorned with a bright orange flower, wearing an ornate black lace gown with delicate white floral embroidery. Warm golden rim light glows against moody misty grey and amber tones, with a glowing spired gothic castle rising in the hazy background. The piece has a dreamy, romantic melancholic mood, with loose painterly brushwork and subtle gilded edge detailing.
