The sketch depicts a standing woman gazing at a tall container of flowers. Her head is slightly tilted, revealing delicate facial features. She wears a large hat and a long flowing dress with ruffles. Surrounding her are foliage and a faintly sketched building in the background. The background is composed of lightly sketched lines and shading.
