About this work

The painting depicts a woman standing in a serene landscape, surrounded by trees and flowers. She is dressed in a flowing white gown with a large bow in her hair, and her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. The background features a tranquil scene with a stream running through it, adding to the overall sense of calm. The woman's pose and expression convey a sense of elegance and refinement, while the natural setting adds a touch of simplicity and humility. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject. The Cleveland Museum of Art.
