A white woman in an off-the-shoulder, ivory satin gown stands against a dark, smoky background. Her long, wavy hair falls loosely over her shoulders, and she gazes softly forward with a pensive and exhausted expression, illuminated by gentle, diffused light. The air is thick with what looks like battle smoke. The woman represents Elvira in Richard Jones’ production of I Puritani.
