This striking portrait is rendered in bold, contrasting colors against a coastal backdrop. The profile view is depicted in vibrant orange-red tones that seem to glow against a deep turquoise sky and sea. Long, flowing dark hair extends down the back, creating a dramatic silhouette. The background features a serene seascape with distant cliffs or mountains meeting the water. The composition is simple yet powerful, with the profile positioned slightly left of center. The use of color creates a sense of warmth and vitality, living up to the "revival of color" referenced in the title. The clean lines and sharp contrast between the figure and background give the piece a contemporary, graphic quality while maintaining a classical profile pose.
