Object description

Against the backdrop of a landscape, there is a half-length depiction of a woman facing three-quarters to the right, with her gaze directed at the viewer. She is dressed in a white low-cut gown, and her shoulders are draped with a red shawl that falls down her left arm. She holds a goose feather in her right hand, which rests on a sketchbook. Her hair is voluminous and powdered. She wears a white scarf adorned with a wreath of roses and green leaves on her head. Around her neck, there is a golden chain with a pendant.
