A few peach-colored flowers are positioned to her left. The woman's attire features a white lace top with a gold and purple collar. The background showcases a tranquil landscape with a body of water, windmills on the horizon, and a cloudy sky in hues of yellow and orange. The image is rendered in a range of brown tones, with a darker brown border surrounding it. The artist's signature, "PAUL BERTHON," is discreetly placed in the top-left corner.
