A woman in a dark dress sits in a garden, with trees and pink flowers in the background
A woman is seated outdoors, facing directly forward. She occupies the central foreground, dressed in a dark blue or black long-sleeved dress with a high collar and a full, voluminous skirt. Her hands are clasped together in her lap, and her forearms are a lighter, warmer brown tone, possibly indicating gloves or skin tone contrast. Her face is pale with light-colored eyes, a small mouth, and a hint of red on her cheeks. Her brown hair is pulled back, appearing to be in a bun or tightly styled. A portion of a light brown wooden chair is visible behind her back. The background is a vibrant, loosely painted garden scene. To the left of the woman, a tree with a reddish-brown trunk and green foliage rises against a light orange-brown wall. To her right, a cluster of pink and red roses with green leaves hangs down, and above them, a potted plant sits on a low, light-colored ledge. The ground beneath and around her is a mix of green and earthy brown tones, suggesting grass and soil. The overall color palette includes blues, greens, oranges, browns, and pinks, applied with visible, somewhat blocky brushstrokes that define forms without sharp outlines.
