This woman stands with her back to us, dressed in a long, light blue gown with layers of lace and ribbons. Her hat sits high, trimmed with dark feathers and a pink band, and she holds a small object in her hand. The dress has puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a wide skirt decorated with purple trim and floral patterns. The painting looks like it was made to show off fancy clothes from the past. The artist used soft colors and delicate details to highlight the fabrics. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists create light, airy effects like this.
