This painting shows a woman in a green dress with her hands clasped together. She is sitting in front of a small statue on a pedestal, with a vase of flowers on the pedestal. The background is a wall with a window and a view of the sky. The woman's face is turned to the side, and her hair is pulled back. She is wearing a dark green dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The statue on the pedestal is of a woman, and the vase of flowers is small and delicate. The painting is done in watercolor and has a soft, dreamy quality to it. The colors are muted, with shades of green, blue, and brown. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness.
