Description
A woman sits on a rock wearing a cream colored hat with blue ribbons and white feathers on it. The brim is trimmed with cream colored ruffles and flares out just enough to show the white lining of the hat. She wears a collar of white ruffled lace and a cream-colored scarf around her neck. Her pelisse or Spencer is light blue with a light pink lining and has Juliet-style sleeves with white ruffled cuffs. She wears a white dress with two tiers of ruffles at the hem. She wears white stockings and light yellow gloves. Her shoes are light blue flats with a bow. She sits on a rock holding an open book in her right hand.
