Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered on a wide evening pavement — a calm, unflappable woman of about thirty-five, mother of a blind boy. Oval face with soft rounded features, large expressive dark eyes, faint patient smile, fair skin with a warm glow on one side and cool blue-grey shade on the other from low side-and-back evening sun. Dark chestnut hair pulled into a loose low bun with a few stray strands. Slender natural build, gentle rounded posture. She wears a muted mustard knee-length knitted cardigan over a plain grey blouse, dark tapered trousers, and simple flat brown loafers. One hand rests in her pocket, the other holds a canvas shopping bag. Behind her, a tree-lined alley of low houses with softly lit windows.
