A young woman sits on the floor by a large window, tilting her head slightly as she meets the camera with a gentle, dimpled smile. Her right hand rests on a golden retriever’s head, fingers spread in a calm, steady petting gesture, while her left hand cradles a speckled ceramic mug near her lap. She’s dressed in a beige knit cardigan over a white T-shirt, paired with dark denim and soft, light-toned socks that add to the relaxed feel. Rain streaks the glass behind her, and cool, diffused windowlight shapes her face in a medium portrait framing. On the sill, a couple of books, a reed diffuser, and a stack of magazines sit quietly in the background, with a faint light leak at the edge like a whisper of color.
