This striking portrait features a profile view set against a vivid blue background with distant coastal cliffs. The figure is rendered in deep shadows, creating a dramatic silhouette effect, while wearing what appears to be a bright orange or red head covering. The composition is bold and graphic, with strong contrasts between the warm and cool colors. The background shows a seascape with rocky outcrops and a clear blue sky, suggesting a Mediterranean setting. The stark lighting creates sharp definition in the features, while the simplified forms and limited color palette give the work a powerful, iconic quality. The title "revival of color" is reflected in the vibrant use of orange against blue, creating a dynamic visual tension.
