About this work

This watercolor shows a woman in a light brown dress with lace trim and puffy sleeves. Her skirt is wide, and she wears a tall, decorated hat with ribbons. She stands outside near a fence and some bushes, holding a fan in one hand. The artist used soft colors and loose brushstrokes, giving it a gentle look. This style was common in the 1700s.
