WINNER Opulence Contest on Fine Art America
The scenery is antique, classic, spells style.. The lady is wearing a beautiful silk dress, probably hand made, with fur wrap around her neck. Her whole stance is of a lady that is independently wealthy. She looks like she does not have to fake wealth as it comes naturally to her, (see her relaxed position.)
The image is set in a time of grandeur. The colours of the image, beautifully executed in pastel, are all balanced and set the tone.
The judges unanimously agreed on this image as a winner.
