The Pause

This painting captures a moment of quiet deliberation. A stunning woman with thick, lustrous hair gazes thoughtfully toward an unseen companion, her expression poised between decision and reflection. Large golden earrings catch the light, adding a touch of elegance to her face. Casually, she strokes the fur of a small dog nestled near her shoulder, the animal looking up at her with quiet curiosity. Rich yellows, deep blacks, and subtle golds accentuate the color of her eyes.
