Seen from a low angle tipped slightly off level, a wiry young woman plants her boots wide apart on a cracked stone outcrop at the very bottom edge of the frame, leaning her weight onto her right leg while her left hip rides forward, so the tall iron-bound reliquary standard tilts diagonally across the sky above her. Her left hand clamps the shaft at chest height, knuckles whitening against the banded iron; her right hand grips lower, elbow bent, forearm binds creased where the leather bites. The bunched votive strips and the standard's crooked bronze head catch the low sun and stream sideways toward the upper right, all pointing the same way the wind goes, and her short spiky bob whips back from her temple in the same direction. Her chin lifts, her dark-brown eyes look up and away past the standard head toward something beyond the frame edge, one brow arched, and her grin pulls wide and lopsided with teeth showing and a hot blush high on both cheeks. Behind her the ground falls away to a low desert horizon; dry scrub and a scatter of broken flagstones sit in the middle distance, and a bank of streaked cloud fills the upper two thirds of the image. The sun sits low at frame left, so her face and pauldron take a warm rim of light along their left contours and her shadow stretches long to the right across the stone; the underside of the standard and the folds of her tunic fall into deep ochre shadow. Flat bright cel colors - warm sand, sun-bleached tan, iron grey, a single bronze accent at the clasp and standard head - cut by crisp black linework. Dust grains hang bright only inside the sunbeam between her and the lens. Effortlessly bold, high-hearted adventure.
