"Loni" is a 2010 oil painting by American artist Nelson Shanks (1937-2015), known for his realist portraits. The painting features a young woman with long, dark hair, captured in a simple yet powerful pose, her gaze directed towards the viewer. The subtle lighting highlights her delicate features and creates a sense of intimacy. Shanks' masterful use of light and shadow, characteristic of his style, adds depth and realism to the piece.
