A woman, middle aged. Her face surrounded by darkness. The face fills the frame. No shoulders or neck are visible and thick dark hair spreads to either side in waves. Her skin is very dark and there is a wetness in her eyes lending her expression a deeply emotive quality.
She has a large broad nose, full lips, downturned at the edges. Her eyes are deep set and shadows fall on her brow. There is light on the inner cheeks and past the bridge of the nose. She has an upward outward gaze, into the distance that we can't see.
