This painting shows a woman standing in a garden, wearing a dark blue dress and a hat. She has her hands clasped together in front of her chest. The background is filled with green leaves and red flowers. The woman's face is pale, and her eyes are cast downward. Her dress is long-sleeved and reaches down to her ankles. The hat on her head is light-colored and has a wide brim. The painting is done in oil paint and has a dreamy quality to it. The colors are muted, with shades of blue, green, and red dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness.
