A gorgeous woman kneeling beside perfectly still dark water, waist-up, leaning forward until her fingertips almost touch the surface, her reflection appearing beneath her—but the reflection is reaching upward toward her instead. She has long pearl-blonde hair falling over one shoulder and wears an elegant crimson silk gown with black lace sleeves, gold earrings, and a delicate jeweled necklace. A gigantic red moon hangs low behind her, reflected as a long vertical streak across the water. The surrounding landscape is nearly empty, with only a few distant reeds breaking the surface. Thick crimson and black brushwork, luminous reflected paint, soft broken edges, layered oil texture, subtle palette-knife marks, eerie romantic atmosphere, carefully balanced composition.
