Description
A mannequin reflected in a shop window from Siena, Italy. Along with the colors, to me this figure has not only worn the clothing of the seasons but also has eyes that have seen the seasons passing through the streets...
From Wikipedia: "Terra di Siena, 'Siena earth', is an earth pigment containing iron oxide and manganese oxide. In its natural state, it is yellow-brown and is called raw sienna. When heated, it becomes a reddish brown and is called burnt sienna. It takes its name from the city-state of Siena, where it was produced during the Renaissance. Along with ochre and umber, it was one of the first pigments to be used by humans, and is found in many cave paintings. It was one of the most important brown pigments used by artists from the Renaissance to the present."
