DescriptionThe image is that of a female figure standing in profile against a background of blue sky with white clouds; the perspective is such that the viewer appears to be looking up, seeing the figure from mid-thigh upwards. The figure is facing the left edge of the canvas with her left hand placed on her hip, her right arm hanging at her side. She is wearing a white dress with a red bow at the collar and red belt at the waist.
