Woman of the Woods - Original Watercolor

This is an original watercolor painting measuring approximately 7x7 inches, housed within a 14x14 inch square wooden frame. The artwork features a detailed portrait of an elderly woman with silver-grey hair interwoven with natural elements like bark, vines, and branches, suggesting a mythological or 'Mother Earth' theme. Her expression is serene but weathered, with fine line work highlighting wrinkles and texture. The color palette utilizes earthy browns, forest greens, and muted flesh tones, complemented by the subject's striking blue eyes. The piece is professionally matted with an off-white acid-free mat board and protected by glass. A yellow title plaque reading 'Woman of the Woods' is applied to the bottom left of the matting. The square frame has a dark, decorative finish with beaded and rope-twist molding details. The condition of the artwork appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or moisture damage. The frame shows minor signs of age and patina but remains structurally sound. The level of detail in the facial rendering and the creative integration of nature motifs indicate high-quality folk-inspired contemporary craftsmanship.
