An impressionist-style painting depicting a full-length portrait of a woman standing outdoors. She is wearing a large, flamboyant hat adorned with feathers and a bow, and a light-colored coat with a dark lapel. The woman is holding a small bouquet of orange flowers in her right hand, and her left hand is tucked into her coat pocket. The background is loosely painted with dark, leafy foliage, giving the impression of a garden or park setting. The brushstrokes are visible and dynamic, adding to the overall expressive quality of the artwork.
