A right justified view of the back of a woman, head turned to the right, hair done in an updo, wearing a long black backless dress with a large flowing train, infront of a colorless cityscape on a cloudy day, with a blackbird flying up and to the left positioned to the left of the woman. That is a pretty detailed description of both pictures, and copyright infringement cases have been made and won with fewer similarities, even when there was no proof the accused had seen the supposed original work.
