A woman stands on a balcony in a flowing, patterned robe. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she holds a small bundle in her hands. Behind her, a city stretches out with trees and domes in the distance. The bright colors of her dress contrast with the muted tones outside. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with loose brushstrokes and soft edges. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this watercolor in person.
