Rosalind Vane · No. 42

The Mirror and the Pearls

A young woman of about 30 seated at an ornate carved vanity table, holding a delicate hand mirror angled toward herself while her other hand drapes a long strand of cream-white pearls across her collarbone. Half-turned gaze meets the viewer with quiet confident intimacy — caught mid-toilette. Raven-black hair flowing long and loose down her back like a silk waterfall, parted in the centre, a small dark crimson camellia tucked behind one ear. She wears a long flowing high-collared Aubergine-violet silk gown densely embroidered with multicolor floral motifs — small silver moons, white magnolias, gold pomegranates, copper autumn leaves, dark teal peacock feathers — like a wearable midnight garden.

An original oil painting on canvas by Rosalind Vane, painted to order — never a reproduction. Ornamental gold-leaf portraits — lovers, mothers and dreaming women wrapped in pattern.
