Portrait of Ersilia

Portrait of Ersilia
Among bright trunks and autumn’s glow,
A gentle smile begins to show.
With pearls of grace and eyes that shine,
She stands where warmth and colour intertwine.

This acrylic on canvas painting uses a vivid natural backdrop and soft modelling to highlight the subject’s warmth and dignity. The stylised treatment of foliage and trees offers a symbolic embrace, blending portraiture with elements of lyrical realism. It belongs to a genre of intimate representational art, where personality and setting enhance emotional depth and harmony.
