Young woman in profile under a dramatic beam of light

Crescendo scene featuring high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting on 300lb rough paper. A 20yo beautiful Caucasian woman is positioned in a dark room with a single, intense beam of golden light striking her shoulder. Deep indigo washes create cavernous shadows, while bold expressive brushstrokes of liquid gold leaf trace cracks in the background wall. She is seen in profile, looking up toward the light but away from the camera. Her hands are hidden within the dark shadows of her long dress. Heavy paint splatters of gold and black add drama.
