Trying my hand at a Thursday #PortraitChallenge , using the oil painting 'Barine' by Edward Poynter from 1894. It was only as I started to draw the hands that I realized she was ripping the paper shown the middle, which is intriguing.

A portrait titled 'Barine' by Edward Poynter, painted in oils on canvas in 1894. It features a woman in profile, adorned with a crown of red roses, dressed in a flowing orange garment. The woman is young, and is looking down at a letter in her hands, which she is in the process of ripping in half. The background contrasts dark and light.
Watercolor illustration recreating the painting 'Barine' by Edward Poynter. It features a woman in profile, adorned with a crown of red roses, dressed in a flowing orange garment, looking down at her hands. Her hair is pulled back away from her face, with a few curls trying to escape. She seems to be ripping a piece of paper in half, perhaps a letter that contained ill news, and holds a rosary in one hand. She looks sad, or resigned.

I quite like the disdainful expression of your watercolor's character.
