Image description
This painting depicts a woman seated with a small white dog in her lap, her head turned slightly to the left. She has pale skin, rosy cheeks, faint eyebrows, light-colored eyes, and small pink lips slightly curved up at the edges. Her curly, dark-brown hair is styled up, and she is wearing a short-sleeved white dress with lace details around the neck. The background shows brown trees with dark green leaves against a blue sky with gray clouds.
