EKPHRASIS

My art work is a painting done in 1880 during the impressionism movement. There is only one figure in the painting that I picked for my ekphrasis. The subject is a woman, she is placed almost in the center of the painting but a little bit more to the left (your right).Her body is slightly facing the right side of the painting. She has light red patches on her forehead, cheeks and left hand. Her head is slightly turned to the right of the painting as she gazes down. Her brown eyes show a lot of emotion which makes me to believe the theme of the painting is :The Human Experience. Part of her brownish hair is visible in the front but is pulled back under a scarf. Her scarf is white with red stripes all over it. The scarf is knotted behind her right ear and falls behind her right ear and ends between her neck and shoulder. She has a black long sleeve shirt on that only exposes her face, left hand and neck. The shirt also has a great contrast with her skin. Her right hand is not seen because the painting was cropped. Her right arm is extended fully and her left hand is placed on her hip (skirt). She is also wearing a skirt that is cropped with her right hand near the wrist (right arm fully extended down). The background is made up of leaves from the tree(s) behind her. There are no braches seen except for one which is barely seen near the right side of her scarf (your left). Implied light was used on her right arm, right side of her skirt and for the light green leaves. A is created behind her from the implied light (dark green leaves).
