Hand-embroidered portrait on linen fabric with a mix of wool, cotton, and silk thread embroidered on top.
A woman with striking red hair holds a red apple under her chin. The entire portrait is hand embroidered using differing stitching styles. The face combines a satin stitch technique with a more randomized style to create depth and provide a distinction between features. An outline of a back heart tattoo on the upper arm creates a focal point. Colors that can be found are a mix of neutral skin tones in addition to a stunning bright red. The background features an abstract print in olive green.
