Observations

Across all four images, stylized female figures are rendered with clean graphic shapes, strong dark outlines, and flat areas of saturated red, blue, black, and cream. Dense beadwork, sequins, metallic accents, feathers, peacock eyes, and repeating dots create an ornate, highly decorative fashion-portrait language.
