The painting shows a woman in a landscape. She is on the left, wearing a long robe. Her right arm is raised, and her head is turned to the right. A figure is above her, to the right, with outstretched arms. The background is a landscape with hills and a body of water. The woman is shown in a dramatic pose, with her arm raised and her head turned. The figure above her appears to be an angel, with outstretched arms. The landscape in the background adds depth and context to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of the artist Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille.
