Sea-green color fading into pale waves

Seen from behind, the subject’s long hair becomes an uninterrupted study in color and texture. Deep sea-green covers the crown and upper lengths, gradually giving way to pale mint and then white toward the ends. The transition is softened by loose waves, whose curves blend the shades rather than dividing them into rigid bands. Because the face is not visible, attention stays on the hair’s silhouette: full around the head, tapering as the waves fall over the back. A pale blue-green top echoes the cooler tones, while the winding path and soft greenery behind her provide a subdued outdoor setting. The framing leaves open space on either side of the figure, making the central fall of hair feel especially prominent. Sunlit areas in the distance contrast with the cooler, shaded tones of the hairstyle, but the background remains softly out of focus. The waves vary in width, from broad bends near the top to narrower curls lower down, giving the length a natural sense of movement. This view also makes the color placement easy to read: the darker shade anchors the crown, while the palest sections collect near the ends. The overall effect is quiet and cool, distinct from the warmer portraits elsewhere in the collection.
