Velvet Duet

Two women face each other in a tight diptych, profiles nearly touching down a thin dividing line. Left figure has ash-blond hair pulled into a neat bun, pale skin, closed eyes, and wears a light gray buttoned shirt. Right figure has long auburn hair swept back, warm skin, a small stud earring, and a deep teal velvet top. Both are shown from the shoulders up against a muted gray-green background, calm and tense at once, like quiet rivals or close confidants.
