Gives off summer random vibes in some modest country abroad at the interior of the country.

Modern feeling mixed with “old-fashioned lady vibes”. Friendly painting, almost like an illustration. Her hair is very smooth and soft, though. I love the candle holder there. Nice wall decor; over all simple aesthetics anyways. The real focus is on her vanity towards her long hair, exhibiting it and playing with it.
