Noble Ember

The illustration is titled “Noble Ember”. A young Burmese noble lady lounges on a velvet chaise, holding a cheroot, its ember glowing gently as thin trails of smoke dance lazily in the air. Her smirk suggests secrets, perhaps a quiet defiance. “ Noble Ember" is not just a portrait of the young lady, it’s a glimpse into a private rebellion wrapped in silk. The illustration captures a balance between power and poise, beauty and boldness, tradition and the flicker of something untamed beneath it all.
