Woman Outdoors is a 1853 oil by Alajos Györgyi Giergl, a Biedermeier work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
In this painting, a woman sits outdoors, surrounded by nature. She is dressed in a long, white dress with a pink shawl draped over her shoulders. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she holds a book in her lap. A small dog sits beside her, looking up at her. The woman's gaze is directed downward, as if she is reading or lost in thought. The painting features a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with the woman and dog surrounded by lush greenery. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of calm and tranquility.
