The Royal Gaze

This is a striking, monochrome portrait of a woman who appears to be Diana, Princess of Wales, captured in a classic, formal pose. The Subject: The subject is immediately recognizable by her short, layered 1980s hairstyle and distinctive, intense gaze. Her expression is solemn and direct, fixing the viewer with her eyes. Attire: She is wearing a dramatic, plunging neckline dress with pronounced, gathered shoulders that were characteristic of the era. Style: The piece is predominantly black and white, though there's a subtle, almost blue-grey tone applied over the charcoal, giving it an ethereal look. The contrast between the dark clothes and the vibrant highlights on her face and hair is incredibly dramatic, making her features stand out against the heavily textured, brush-stroked background.
