what I see

a woman in blue dress and blonde hair staring at white rose.

The woman is placed in the center of the drawing and the rose to the left taking only a small part of the drawing while there is a dark background .It happened when the sun has set and she was standing behind a building

what do you think the artist is trying to portray

her expression is a bit aggressive or unhappy, which may imply that she had heard about her future as a woman. The white flowers may symbolize purity and innocence and may also refer to her future as a married woman. Putting the woman in front shows the importance of her in this painting and the colour for the flower stand outs.

how do I want to adapt this style into my self portrait

using both flowers and buildings as shown in the background, using the same blue dress in the artwork 

Questions

Why is the background quite empty , where is the location?

The artwork's background uses many strokes to create the elements .

change the colour of the rose , hair of woman to match myself more into the artwork
