Oil painting using the Trompe-l’oeil technique. The painting has a fake, painted frame. It depicts a portrait of a lady with white, flowing hair and a red low-cut dress sitting in a castle bed chamber. It looks like she is climbing out of the painting, her hands gripping the edges of the fake frame. At the bottom corner of the frame, a grim skull rests ominously, its hollow eyes gazing out as if watching the scene unfold.
