1. Character and Styling
• Face, A woman of striking beauty with dark, straight brunette hair cut in a shoulder-length bob. She wears heavy makeup, particularly accentuated eyes, (thick cat-eye eyeliner), and natural pink lips.
• Clothing, The style is elegant and boudoir-like.
• Underwear, The woman wears a black, lace bra with an embroidered floral motif.
• Gloves, A key element of the styling are long, black gloves, (called opera gloves), reaching below the elbow. They give the photo a femme fatale or retro feel.
• Body, The model is slim, with visibly defined abdominal muscles. The skin is lightly tanned.
2. Pose and Framing
• Framing, The photo is a reflection in a round mirror. We see the model standing with her back/side to us, but looking at her reflection over her shoulder. • Pose, The woman rests her left hand, (gloved), high against a wall or mirror. Her head is turned toward the mirror, making eye contact with her reflection, (and the viewer), . This is a classic, sensual pose, exposing her back and profile.
3. Background
• Setting, Elegant interior. The mirror has a thin black frame. A fragment of a modern chandelier and gray curtains are visible in the reflection. In the foreground, (in front of the mirror), is a gold bowl or decoration.
