ラベンダー・チェック、古書店の階段 - Lavender Check, Antique Bookstore Stairs

A Korean female, in her 20s. She sits on the outside staircase of a used bookstore in a back alley, wearing a wool-blend jacket with a fine tartan check pattern in lavender and moss green, reading an open book on her lap. The jacket has notch lapels, brass-colored buttons, and turned-up cuffs, and is paired with a cream-colored high-neck knit sweater underneath. Her hair is braided in hazel brown and hangs over her left shoulder. Her eyes, hidden by glasses, are focused on the page, but a slight smile plays on her lips. The camera is angled diagonally from above, looking down, and the texture of the wood of the stairs and the color of the book's paper add a warmth, while the pastel check pattern of the jacket makes a quiet statement. While the overall tone is muted, the unexpected lavender adds a fresh stimulus to the visual sense, creating a world of color that is both intellectual and playful.
