Andrea Marie von Brandt and Muffin (Painting)

This is a painting of a tall, young, well built woman. She stands in a powerful stance, one foot forward, her shoulders squared. She simply looks aggressive though she has not a weapon nor armor to be seen.

The woman has a warm smile, as if looking at someone or something she adores, her lips upturned and puffed a little, almost as if she is expecting a kiss. Her blue eyes have had a lot of time and attention focused upon them. The pupils have a tiny reflection in them, if one squints, of a white haired woman. This image is surrounded by the depths of blue around it.

She wears a black fine silk gown, which hangs from her shoulders smoothly to her waist, where a satin sash pulls the gown in before swooping out over her hips and down to her ankles, where suede shoes peek out. The gown is decorated at the hem with white hares marching in a parade around it, above which faint thread of silver has been woven scrawling about in a fancy pattern up to the waist.

The bodice of the dress is held in by the satin sash, but holds to the woman’s full figure, which she has generous proportions. A pin is attached to the breast of a hare, with its ears upright and proud.

The woman rests a hand, with perfectly manicured black painted nails, atop the head of a massive shadow mastiff, sitting at her side protectively. She seems to be scratching the mastiff idly, whose broad grin and fluffy tail mid swish indicates his adoration for the attention.
