Art style: Vintage Cel Animation.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, figure centered in a classic Russian schoolroom with tall windows, chalkboard and rows of wooden desks filling the sides. Maria Ivanovna is a warm, wise schoolteacher in her mid-fifties, of medium height with a soft, gently rounded build and calm dignified posture. Fair skin with kind smile lines, rosy cheeks, and thoughtful hazel eyes behind round wire-rimmed spectacles on a beaded chain. Silvery-grey hair pulled into a neat low bun with a few loose strands. She wears a modest high-collared cream blouse with a small brooch, a long pleated navy skirt to mid-calf, and a warm knitted cardigan draped over her shoulders. Sensible low-heeled brown lace-up shoes. One hand holds a piece of chalk, the other rests kindly, expression patient and knowing, as if guarding a secret.
