Ha' Bach Mihangel

Inside the image.

A square album cover combines a softly faded portrait photograph on the left with a broad, mottled beige field on the right. A woman sits in a pale upholstered armchair, shown from about the knees upwards and turned slightly towards the viewer. She has short, voluminous dark hair and wears a dark jacket over a white collared blouse. Her hands rest together across her lap. The chair’s rounded back, patterned with pale greenish floral shapes, shows behind her left shoulder. At the lower left, dried flowers and grasses rise in front of the chair and partly obscure its base; a small dark floral-looking object sits near the bottom edge.

The portrait occupies roughly the left half of the cover, though its edges dissolve into the surrounding design rather than forming a sharp rectangular frame. A pale vertical glow and shadowy grey-green area sit behind the chair and figure. The right half is mostly open, filled with warm ochre, tan and muted gold clouding that resembles aged or softly brushed paper. The portrait and background meet in a blurred, irregular transition. The image has subdued, softened colours and a slightly hazy photographic appearance, with no separate border.

Large decorative lettering overlaps the middle-right area, extending slightly across the portrait’s edge. It reads “doreen Lewis” in lowercase and capitalised forms as shown: “doreen” above “Lewis”. The letters are blue-grey with pale outlines and a dark offset shadow, in a bold, rounded serif style. Beneath them, smaller cream lettering reads “ha’ bach” and “mihangel” on two lines, aligned towards the right. The typography stands out against the sandy background while partially covering the portrait’s right side.
