A young woman in a white dress sits with a brown and white dog in a dark landscape
A full-length portrait depicts a young woman seated outdoors, accompanied by a dog. The woman occupies the center of the canvas, facing forward with her head slightly turned to her right, gazing directly at the viewer. She has fair skin, dark curly hair styled around her face, blue eyes, and light red lips. She wears a white, empire-waist dress with short, puffed sleeves and a low neckline. A delicate gold chain necklace adorns her neck, and a ring with a dark stone is visible on the ring finger of her left hand. Her hands are clasped together in her lap. To her left, a brown and white dog with floppy ears rests its head on her lap, looking up towards her face. The dog wears a light blue collar. Both figures are seated on a draped, reddish-brown fabric that extends across the lower portion of the painting. The background on the left features dark green foliage and the trunk of a tree. On the right, the background transitions to a dark sky with swirling lighter clouds. The overall lighting highlights the woman's face and dress against the darker surroundings.
