She was beautiful, gaunt and elegant. Her face was long and pale, her eyes were pale, small and close beside her long nose; she had prominent front teeth; her hair was an unruly shock of white tufts.

She projected authority, a fierce character, unfilled love promises and a deep love of the past. • red background, high contrast, deep shadows, surreal, aidmaMJ6. 1
