A beautiful young woman dressed in opulent, yet somewhat faded, aristocratic attire standing at the entrance of an elegant, but slightly dilapidated manor. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo adorned with a few remaining jewels, hinting at a past of grandeur. The expression on her face is enigmatic; her smile is ambiguous, balancing on a fine line between warmth and mockery. She holds a basket of freshly picked berries in one hand, extending it gracefully towards a ragged little girl standing before her. The child, with her eyes wide and hopeful, reaches up tentatively, her grubby hands in stark contrast to the woman's porcelain skin. Behind the girl, a destitute village stretches into the distance, with shabby thatched roofs and desolate faces peeking out of doorways.
