Elegant Black Woman in a Library - Oil Portrait

An elegant Black woman seated at a polished wooden desk in a grand library, rendered in lush oil painting style. Tall mahogany bookshelves brim with leather-bound volumes, warm amber glow from vintage lamps, and a large window letting golden afternoon light spill across the scene. She wears a refined, period-inspired dress in deep emerald, a string of pearls, and her hair styled in soft curls. Visible brushstrokes and rich textures give a tactile, painterly quality with dramatic chiaroscuro, evoking 18th- or 19th-century European portraiture and a sense of dignified intellect.
