Detailed Description
A full-length depiction shows a woman standing in a landscape setting. She is positioned slightly to the right of center, facing left with her head turned to gaze in that direction. Her skin is pale, and her dark hair is styled up, adorned with small blue ribbons and pearls. She wears a light blue satin gown with a low neckline, featuring white, voluminous sleeves that gather at the elbows. A gold sash with a patterned design drapes diagonally across her torso, secured by a red jewel and a pearl drop. Her left hand, held at chest level, gently grasps a small bouquet of pink and white flowers, with a string of pearls draped from her wrist. Her right arm rests on a light-colored stone pedestal to her right. A long, light brown shepherd's crook leans against the pedestal, its curved top extending above her shoulder. The pedestal features a relief sculpture of a nude male figure, possibly holding a bow and arrow, with foliage at its base. Behind the woman, a large tree trunk with dark green and brown foliage rises vertically. To the far left, a cloudy, light blue and gray sky transitions into distant, dark green hills. The overall lighting is soft, highlighting the woman against a darker background.
