A tight dutch-angled profile close-up, tilted about eight degrees off level, so the frame cuts the figures at the shoulders and everything outside that band falls away. At the left of frame, in profile facing right, stands the girl: brown hair swept up into a high ponytail, its very long mass gathered at the crown and spilling down behind her shoulders in a loose tail that the tilt throws across the upper left corner, with two long sidelocks curtaining forward past her cheek and one strand of it stuck to the wet corner of her jaw. Her eyes are wide open and purple, both of them, glossy with standing water; a thick tear has broken from the lower lid of the right eye and runs a clean wet track through the powder on her cheek to the corner of her chin, and a second tear hangs trembling and unbroken on the lower lashes of the left eye. Her brows are pulled up at the inner ends, her mouth is pressed shut and dragged sideways by the contact, her nostrils flared on a caught breath. Her shoulders are hunched forward and both hands are clenched into white-knuckled fists at the height of her collarbones, the knuckles jammed together, arms drawn in tight against her ribs -- she is not pushing him away and the smallness of that gesture is the point.
At the right of frame, small and rising only to her chin, the goblin leans up onto his toes to reach her: child-sized, green-skinned, a heavy jutting brow, a long pointed nose crushed flat against her upper lip, two lower fangs pressing out over his lip, ears long and pointed and swept back. His left hand is clamped on her jaw, thumb dug into the soft hollow under her cheekbone, fingers spread over the far side of her face and dragging the skin; his right hand fists a wad of her skirt for balance. His mouth is mashed onto hers, lips flattened out of shape by the pressure, and his eyes are squeezed shut. Her eyes stay open over his shoulder and look past him, off frame to the upper right, unfocused -- she is not looking at him at all, and the whole performance of the picture lives in that refusal.
Everything at her neck and ears is colossal and absurd and unmistakably expensive: saucer-sized hoop earrings of gold and clustered gemstone drag her earlobes down, a bracelet the width of a cuff, studded and layered in three bands, swallows her wrist on the near arm, and on the far hand a ring so oversized that its stone covers two knuckles and catches the light as a hard white star. Her dress is a crime of excess, pink and white and drowning in itself: lace in four different patterns stacked at the collar and cuffs, ruffles on ruffles down the bodice, bows of every size -- at the shoulder, the waist, the hip, the wrist -- crowding each other until they overlap, sequins scattered so densely that the fabric reads as glitter slush, cheap gilt ornaments and enamel charms and ribbon rosettes pinned everywhere they will fit. The skirt balloons out from her waist in a puff so wide the frame cannot hold it, the hem gone entirely off the bottom edge. Over the whole thing the dark red kimono is thrown like a coat, its collar pulled crooked over one shoulder and its sleeve hanging loose beside her clenched fist, the deep red the only quiet thing in the picture.
Light comes from a single hard source above and behind her left shoulder, warm and stage-like; it rims the loose tail of her ponytail in gold, lays a wet highlight along the track of the tear, catches the flat plane of the ring's stone, and drops the front of both faces and the goblin's whole body into shadow so that his green skin reads near-black at the jaw. The background is an indistinguishable glittering bokeh of the same pink and white as the dress, thrown far out of focus. The one piece of physics the picture turns on: the tear track on her cheek is the brightest thing on her face, wet and reflective, while the skin around it is matte with powder -- the water shows the light, the powder swallows it. Loud, garish, and quietly unbearable.
