  • A young woman stands hunched over a dark desk in the bottom half of the picture. Her face is hidden behind shoulder-length golden-blonde hair with strawberry undertones. Her dress is long with pink and blue accents, but leaves her shoulders and upper back exposed. A white, smoke-like fog rises off her and into the painted portrait behind her, which holds a young figure in white with a malicious glint in their eye and a wicked smile. The frame is curved and wooden, and the backdrop of the portrait is an ominous purple smoke. At the bottom of the image is the title "This Wretched Beauty" in a large, elegant font, as well as the words "A Dorian Gray Remix" framed beneath it in a smaller, sleeker font. At the top of the page is the name "Elle Grenier" in the same font as "A Dorian Gray Remix."
