Painting description

Against a black background, a woman emerges, her fiery red hair swirling like fire, creating the entire atmosphere. The composition is clever because we have her twice: once in profile in partial shadow, and once in the mirror, where her face is sharp and somewhat pensive. Skin painted with soft transitions of pink, purple, and cool white contrasts with the warm red glow of her hairstyle. Brushstrokes are visible in the strands and thighs, and the background is smooth, almost velvety. The mood is intimate and slightly unsettling, as if silence were speaking loudly. It looks so dramatic. I feel shame and courage in it all at once. She looks at herself, and I, too, begin to think of my own secrets. The girl is pretty and has red hair.
