Anticipation 

"Anticipation" is a realistic oil painting by contemporary artist Adrian Gottlieb (b. 1975). The painting depicts a woman in a dark patterned dress reaching out to a cluster of white roses in a shadowy garden. Her expression is thoughtful, suggesting a moment of quiet reflection or anticipation. The use of rich, dark colors and a subtle light source creates a sense of mystery and intimacy. This work exemplifies Gottlieb's signature style, which blends traditional techniques with a modern sensibility to capture the delicate beauty of everyday moments.
