"The wind has settled and announces your arrival, enveloping me in your rich, woody scents of ferns, leather, and Turkish tobacco..."

Seen from behind, a red-haired woman turns her head slightly to the right. Her bare shoulder stands out against a horizontal branch, suspended by thin light-colored ties.

Small squares pass near the bun, above a background of stylized flowers and ochre circles. The composition brings together skin, wood, and patterns, in a palette of browns and muted blues.

The small squares near the hair reproduce the gold leaf applications on the original painting. The print restores their subtle tones above the branch.
