Description
A woman is standing in a garden holding a bouquet of yellow and red flowers. She wears a lavender dress with yellow trimming. The sleeves are three tiers of gathers creating full puffed sleeves with gathered lace epaulettes. The bodice is high necked with vertical gathers and two bands of lace at the sides with bright yellow bows at the shoulders. The collar is yellow, with a lavender rosette at the side. She has a gathered yellow waist with a ruffle. The skirt is gored, full at the hem, with two sets of inverted pleats at the sides. A narrow yellow ruffle finishes the hem, and two yellow bows adorn the skirt at the top of the pleats. She wears white gloves, gold bangle bracelets, and holds a lavender parasol trimmed with lace and a yellow bow. Her straw hat is decorated with lavender flowers and lace.
