• A woman in green beside a sculpted bust

The dress falls in pale vertical folds.

The bust face turns slightly.

The bust is placed on a high base beside the woman, so its carved face sits near her shoulder. Pale green fabric and white lace create soft folds across the long skirt. The muted wall leaves open space around the two upright forms. The woman and bust stand at slightly different heights, but both remain upright against the plain wall. Their close spacing links the painted portrait with the sculpted form.
