Detailed Description
The painting depicts a full-length figure of a young woman standing barefoot on a dark green, grassy ground. She faces slightly to the right, her gaze directed towards the right side of the frame. Her dark hair is pulled back, revealing a thin gold band across her forehead. She wears a light, cream-colored tunic with a dark, square neckline trim, and a dark purple outer robe draped over her left shoulder and around her waist, revealing an orange lining. An orange sash is also draped over her left shoulder. In her left hand, she holds a slender staff topped with a small gold cross, which rests on the ground beside her. Her right hand is raised, holding a golden chalice that contains a white, circular disc. Behind the woman, the background is divided. To the left, a light blue sky with white, billowy clouds extends above a verdant landscape featuring rolling green hills, a winding river, and faint, distant structures. To the right, a dark, rocky mound with a textured surface rises, topped with sparse, dark green foliage. A small, fluffy white dog with a curly tail stands on the grass to the woman's right, looking up towards her. The dog is positioned near her bare feet. The overall lighting is soft and even.
