Woman with a Blue Headband: A Mosaic of Strength

This mosaic is a close-up portrait of a woman's face, seen in three-quarter profile looking over her shoulder. She has intense blue eyes and subtle red lips. Her brown hair is styled back, secured with a blue and white patterned band around her head. A distinctive, large dangling earring with concentric gold and blue oval shapes is visible. The background is a mosaic of dark grey and black squares, creating a stark contrast to the subject. The composition is strongly reminiscent of Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring".
