A candid, unposed colour photograph of an adult Russian woman in her late twenties caught mid-moment, vertical, framed from the top of her head to her hips, taken at chest height from about a metre and a half away, the frame a touch off-centre. Early morning on a stone terrace of a seaside villa, the sea a soft blue haze behind her. Low warm sunlight from her left is the only light, falling across the front of her body and her face, the right side of her torso in gentle shadow, warm true-to-life colours. She leans one hip against the sun-warmed stone balustrade, facing the camera, holding a small white espresso cup in both hands just below her collarbones, wearing a thin fitted white ribbed cotton tank top with no bra underneath and loose linen shorts, a sleepy, amused smile, eyes on the lens over the rim of the cup. A typically Russian Slavic face: high, wide cheekbones, deep-set light grey-blue eyes, a straight nose with a slightly upturned tip, light brown straight brows, a soft full lower lip, very fair skin with a few light freckles across the nose. Long straight ash-blonde hair loose and a little windblown, thin gold hoops. A petite, slender build with natural adult proportions and a small head: narrow shoulders, a narrow waist, a flat stomach, slim arms and delicate wrists. Very large, full, upright natural teardrop breasts, strikingly big and prominent on her thin frame and narrow ribcage, the two breasts together wider than her ribcage, filling and stretching the thin cotton of the tank top, the faint outline of her nipples showing through it. Terracotta pots with lavender, a wrought-iron table with a coffee pot behind her. Real skin everywhere: visible pores, a faint natural sheen where the light catches her, tiny hairs on her forearms, slightly uneven skin tone, crisp detail in the skin and the fabrics, shallow depth of field, the background softly out of focus.
