Portrait study in Niji style of a fair-skinned woman wearing a deep plum velvet gown with high collar and golden embroidery running along the sleeves and bodice. Her shoulders are draped with a sheer black shawl, lightly fluttering in the breeze. A snowy owl with soft white feathers and piercing blue eyes is perched on her forearm, its wings slightly extended. The ambient light catches the textures of her gown and the feathers, casting an ethereal glow.
