Description
A woman wears a light blue evening dress with short, puffed sleeves and a high waist. The low, square neckline is edged in white braid, and the bodice is decorated with the same white braid and a row of blue buttons down the front. A white, fringed scarf is tied at the empire waist like a sash. The skirt is hemmed with a row of white scallops and other decorations in blue and white. She wears white, elbow-length gloves and white shoes and stockings. She has pink flowers and a golden comb in her hair. Her necklace is made up of three strands of pearls interspersed with flowers. She holds a closed, white fan in her right hand and sits on a carved wood bench with a blue cushion trimmed in gold and tassels. Her right elbow rests on a hexagonal table with elaborate decorations.
