Portrait of a Young Lady

Europäische Grafik 1833–1921, vers 1835

This painting shows a woman standing next to a tree, her left arm resting on a low branch. She has fair skin, rosy cheeks, large eyes, and dark curled hair in an updo and adorned with a pink flower. She wears a dress with a red-and-green floral pattern on a pale-yellow background, puffed sleeves, a lacy collar, and a wide belt. She is holding a closed green umbrella in her right hand. A pale-yellow hat with a veil rests on the ground behind her to the left. She stands on a brown patch of dirt, and to the right appears to be a body of water with green reeds. The background shows dense green trees under a sky of pastel pink clouds, a small patch of blue visible near the top left.
