Ophelia's curiosity piqued at the sight of the red curtain, standing out against the otherwise subdued color scheme of Leonard's chamber. She approached it slowly, her fingers itching to draw back the fabric and reveal the mystery hidden behind.
With a hesitant hand, she reached out and gently pulled back the curtain, revealing what lay beyond. Her breath caught in her throat as her eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected sight before her.
Behind the curtain was a large portrait, dominating the wall with its presence.
The portrait depicted a woman of striking beauty, her features illuminated by an ethereal glow that seemed to emanate from the canvas itself.
Her long, flowing locks cascaded around her shoulders like spun gold, catching the light in such a way that they seemed to shimmer with a life of their own. Each strand appeared meticulously painted, capturing the subtle interplay of light and shadow.
