I will quote a short passage from Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest (London, 2010), Chapter 7, and leave it to the alert blog reader to critique the POV:
"'Hello, Lisbeth. I'm Annika Giannini,' she said. 'May I come in?'
"Salander studied her without expression. All of a sudden she did not have the slightest desire to meet Blomkvist's sister and regretted that she had accepted this woman as her lawyer.
"Giannini came in, shut the door behind her, and pulled up a chair. She sat there for some time, looking at her client.
"The girl looked terrible." (p. 163)

Kaor, Paul!
I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I don't think any defense advocate would want his/her client to look the way Salander does in the image you chose. Salander's peculiar appearance and attire is more likely than not to "put off" any jury!

Sean,
You are right about Lisbeth's appearance. The press had already projected an image of her. She felt that, if she dressed respectably, that would look false so she defiantly gave them what they expected, knowing that she had overwhelming evidence on her side in any case.
But I meant the POV in the quoted passage. Within that short passage, the POV jumps from Lisbeth looking at Giannini to Giannini looking at Lisbeth.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
Aw, darn! You might ALTERNATING points of view. I should have thought of that!
