About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a green dress and hat, holding a feathered object in her right hand and a stick in her left. She is standing on a staircase, with her left leg raised and her right leg bent. The woman is wearing a green dress with white ruffles and a green hat with feathers. The woman's facial expression is cheerful, and she appears to be in a playful mood. The background of the painting is a light-colored wall with a staircase, and there are some objects on the stairs, including a green jar. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Jan van Beers, who was known for his Impressionist-style paintings of everyday life.
