A young woman in 18th-century dress gazes directly outward with a composed expression, her pale skin and delicate features rendered in soft modeling against a dark, neutral ground. Large white capital letters reading "IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS" overlay the portrait in bold, modern typography, creating a striking dialogue between classical portraiture and contemporary text. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
