A woman in a wide-brimmed hat and high-collared dress against a warm, textured background
The painting depicts a head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman, positioned slightly to the left of the canvas's vertical center. She faces forward, with her head tilted slightly to her left, and her gaze directed slightly downward. She wears a wide-brimmed hat in light yellow-brown tones, with a darker band visible around its crown. Beneath the hat, dark, curly hair frames her pale face. Her dark eyes and eyebrows contrast with her complexion, and her lips are a muted reddish-brown. She wears a high-collared garment, also in shades of yellow-brown, with visible brushstrokes defining fabric folds across her chest and shoulders. The background is abstract, characterized by vertical and diagonal brushstrokes in varying shades of yellow, olive green, and muted blue, creating a textured, somewhat indistinct environment. In the upper right corner, dark, handwritten script reads: "a la famille mys Flante 1899." The overall palette is dominated by warm earth tones, with the figure occupying the majority of the frame.
