Object description
On the canvas, winter is associated with the image of a young and beautiful woman. The graceful figure is depicted against a brown background. Her elegant facial features are depicted in a light shade of pink. The piercing look of her brown eyes, small nose, plump red lips with a coquettish smile and ruddy cheeks are imbued with a lyrical mood. The woman is dressed in a dark coloured suit embroidered with fur. On her neck, there is a pendant. She is wearing a hat with a red ribbon on her head, two locks of brown hair coming from underneath it. Over her shoulder is a strap with a tray where various objects are placed. The portrait is characterised by a flat treatment of the image.
