This painting shows a woman in a white dress sitting on a rocky wall. She has brown hair and is holding a green plant in her right hand. The wall is covered with flowers and plants. In the background, there are more rocks and a field with trees and a stone structure in the distance. The sky is blue with pink clouds. The woman's dress is long and flowing, and she is barefoot. The wall she is sitting on is made of large stones, and there are flowers and plants growing out of the cracks. The background is a peaceful landscape with rolling hills and trees. The artist who painted this is Pierre Puvis de Chavannes.
