Nicolas Delaunay after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

The image shows a woman in a side profile view, standing and leaning forward towards a tree. She seems to be carving or writing on the tree. She has delicate facial features, styled hair, and wears an elegant gown. A dog sits beside her on a stone bench. The background includes a large tree, foliage, and a cloudy sky. The image is bordered and titled at the bottom.
