Französische Grafik 1879–1887,

She wears a voluminous blue gown adorned with white lace trim, and her hands are delicately clasped together in her lap. Her facial features are finely detailed with a light complexion, rosy cheeks, and an expression of calm contemplation. Her hair is styled in a traditional manner, partially covered by a matching blue bonnet. The chair she sits in is upholstered in green fabric with a floral pattern and has a wooden frame. In the background, there are lush trees and a distant landscape, alongside a large architectural stone element to the left.
