A pale, luminous face emerges from a dark ground, framed by translucent silvery ruffles that swirl like petals or smoke around the head and shoulders. The jewelled headdress and small hanging pendant add flickers of blue, gold and crimson against the shadow, while the wide, watchful eyes give the woman a quiet, faintly melancholy presence. This original oil painting by Pavel Filin balances delicate white linework with soft flesh tones and deep blacks. Available to view at Art Gallery Teplice.
