This painting depicts a young woman in a pink dress, sitting in front of a window with a white curtain. She is holding flowers in her hands and looking down at them. The woman's hair is styled in a low bun, and she is wearing a bracelet on her right wrist. The painting is done in oil paint and features a soft, gentle color palette. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene. The painting is a beautiful example of Annie Elizabeth Kelly's work. If you're interested in seeing more of her art, you can check out the collection at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
