“O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.”
The background of the original looks black today due to ageing, but was originally something like emerald green if I remember correctly. Feel like that would have worked well here also.
So far, nobody has commented on this, but the lipstick is on point and the color really accentuates the photo by adding a little daub of color to an otherwise very dark and almost monochromatic piece.
It would be interesting to see this recreated with more colorful clothing choices, too.
