A realistic epic painting of a deeply saddened woman with black hair and beautifully detailed eyes and ears, her expression marked by red swollen eyes, furrowed eyebrows, a red nose, and wet cheeks. Her half-open mouth adds to the depth of her sorrow. The artwork captures the dramatic lighting typical of Gothic art, influenced by French painter Alexandre Cabanel. Her dark eyes embody her profound melancholy, as a delicate veil drapes over her, highlighting her neckline. Set against the backdrop of an old Gothic cathedral, the dim, gloomy lighting accentuates the painting's somber mood.
