Renaissance Mermaid Portrait

This is a formal, meticulously crafted, full-length Renaissance portrait of a woman in the Renaissance style, in a three-quarter view. The composition uses traditional portrait techniques. A young, slender, young mermaid of royal descent. She has a delicate face, with a proportionately high forehead, and a beautifully shaped, aristocratic nose. Her eyes are blue. She has long, wavy, dark red hair that reaches her shoulders and back. She sits on a seaside rock, turned slightly to the side, in a graceful pose. Sea snails and conch shells are scattered around the rock. On her head she wears a shiny, ornate silver tiara decorated with shells, teardrop-shaped pale blue aquamarines, and dangling strings of pearls. Her attire is a gold-trimmed, pink mother-of-pearl bra. She wears a gold belt studded with precious stones On her upper arms and wrists she wears bracelets made of shiny gold coins and pearls, and around her neck she wears a necklace decorated with aquamarines and sapphires. The lower part of her body is a long, graceful mermaid tail covered with shiny green and gold scales, with iridescent pink fins on both sides and at the end of the fish tail. The mermaid tail reaches down to the ground and hugs the rock. In both hands, the figure holds a luminous sphere shining with a yellowish-golden light in its palms. The background is the seaside garden of an ancient Greek, somewhat mythical palace, with an abandoned ruined wall, a collapsed arched gate in the background, the architectural elements of which are ornately carved in the ancient Greek style, made of pink and white marble. The garden and the building parts are decorated with colorful but fragmented mosaic images.
