Gianna, wearing a knitted sweater and overalls, sits cross-legged in an armchair, in a window with soft white light filtering through the blinds. She's holding a framed picture of a river cutting through a forest. On closer inspection, it becomes clear that the picture is made from felted wool, but it's very realistic.
