Renaissance Woman Portrait by a Lake

This is a formal, meticulously crafted, full-length Renaissance portrait of a woman in the Renaissance style, in three-quarter view. The composition uses traditional portrait techniques. A young woman of royal descent, slender and graceful. She has a delicate face, a well-proportioned high forehead, and a beautifully shaped, aristocratic nose. Her eyes are blue. Her long, wavy, light brown hair is part braided in a halo, part loose, falling down her back. On her head she wears a dark gold and deep gold amber-motif tiara, set with peridot and sapphire gems and white pearls. Her attire is a medieval-style pale green pleated organza dress with long, funnel-shaped, full sleeves, a long, floor-length skirt, and a border embroidered with a green and gold ivy leaf pattern. She sits on a mossy stone by a lake, turned slightly to the side, in a graceful pose. Small, colorful flowers bloom around the stone. Two ornately carved gold marbles lie on the rock next to the figure. Near the lake shore, on a large water lily leaf sits a green and white frog with a small golden crown on its head. The girl leans towards him, extends one hand invitingly towards him, and looks at him kindly.
