About this work

The painting features a woman standing beside a table, her face turned to the side as she smells a bouquet of flowers. She wears a white dress and has dark hair pulled back. The table holds several potted plants, and a chair with a floral pattern is visible to her right. A tiger skin lies on the floor in front of her. The woman's attire and the style of the furniture suggest a specific time period. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the light falls on the subject and the surrounding objects. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
