This painting shows a woman in a long, dark green dress and hat. She stands in front of a dark background, looking to the left. Her face is pale, and her dark hair is visible under her hat. The woman's dress is shiny and has a white collar. Her hat is also green and has a wide brim. The background is dark and blurry, but it looks like it might be a room or a garden. The painting is done in a style that makes the woman stand out from the background. It's like she's the only important thing in the picture.
