The painting depicts a woman wearing a hat adorned with red lilies, which also surround her. She is dressed in a green jacket with a white ruffled collar and is gazing to the right. The background of the painting is dark, and the woman's face is illuminated. The woman's attire and the presence of lilies suggest that the painting may be portraying a specific theme or subject. The use of dark colors in the background creates a sense of contrast with the woman's clothing and the lilies. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Dorothy Kate Richmond.
