Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a full-length depiction of a woman standing in a landscape. The woman is positioned slightly to the right of center, with her body angled to the left, but her head turned to look over her left shoulder directly at the viewer. She has voluminous, light-colored, curly hair and a pale complexion with dark eyes and small red lips. She wears a long, flowing white gown, possibly made of satin or silk, which shimmers with light. A large, light brown fur-trimmed cloak or stole is draped over her shoulders and arms. Her right hand, covered by a brown glove, holds a small white object, possibly a flower or a fan, near her chest. A large, fluffy brown fur muff hangs from her left arm, adorned with a bright blue ribbon. The upper two-thirds of the background feature a blue-gray sky filled with large, white and gray clouds. The lower third shows a green landscape with trees on either side and in the mid-ground. A distant body of water or hazy horizon is visible between the trees on the left. The immediate foreground consists of green grass with scattered small, colorful flowers.
