The painting shows a young woman with porcelain, almost ethereal skin, standing out against the deep, dark background. Her eyes, large and penetrating, look straight at the viewer - unmoving, emotionless, as if she were looking through you. There is a mysterious serenity in her pose, a stillness that is almost palpable. Her face is perfectly symmetrical, her lips closed, her expression inscrutable.
What immediately catches the eye is the lush bouquet of blue flowers resting on her head like an unusual, fragile hat. The flowers - possibly dalias or peonies - are full and blooming, with delicate petals that seem to swirl gently across her forehead. They contrast sharply with the darkness behind her, as if forming a floating, luminous crown.
The painting raises questions: who is this girl? Is she a bride, a ghostly apparition, a symbol of innocence or transience?
