Description
The woman wears a crimson walking dress with a lacy white collar and a wide band of brown fur at the hem. She carries a matching brown fur muff trimmed with a crimson bow. Over her dress she wears a deep green, fur-edged cape with a brooch at the neck. The woman has pointed, black shoes, yellow gloves, and a pale pink poke bonnet decorated with a rear ruffle, pink bows, and sprays of white flowers. A light green, checked cloth hangs below the muff; perhaps it is a scarf of some sort.
