Fragrance (Girl With Rose)

This portrait captures a girl gently smelling a fragrant pink rose. Her calm pose mirrors the fully blossomed flower with its open petals that seem to whisper through the air. The orange-brown shadows cast by the rose harmonize beautifully with the vibrant hues of her fiery hair. Edward conveys a stylized elegance, delicate romanticism, and ethereal atmosphere through the subject’s dreamy expression and the composition.
