This is a digital painting in a realistic, semi-illustrative style. The central figure is a woman standing in a rustic, sunlit market. She has a pale complexion, dark wavy hair styled in an updo, and wears a Victorian-era, dark purple, long-sleeved dress with a corseted bodice and a full, tattered skirt. The dress has intricate lace detailing around the neckline and sleeves, and a choker necklace adorns her neck. She stands against a wooden post, her left hand resting on it, and her right hand holding the skirt of her dress. Her expression is serious and slightly melancholic. The background depicts a bustling market scene with several men dressed in period-appropriate attire, including wide-brimmed hats and vests, engaged in various activities. The market stalls are covered with beige, draped fabric, and there are wooden crates and sacks scattered around. The sun is setting, casting a warm, golden light that bathes the scene in a soft, amber glow. The texture of the wooden post and crates is detailed, adding to the realism of the painting. The overall mood is nostalgic and slightly somber, with a focus on the contrast between the woman's dark, worn dress and the warm, golden background.
