Shown from about the hips up against a dark gray background, a rosy-cheeked, light-skinned woman stands before a wooden table as she arranges flowers in this vertical portrait. Her body is angled to our right, and she turns to look at us with clear blue eyes under curving brows. She has a straight nose, and her small bow lips are closed. Her gray hair is loosely bound, and curls fall over her shoulders. She wears a white muslin dress with puffed sleeves and blousy ruffles around the neckline. Her dress is gathered at her waist with a sheer, gold-striped sash. The wide brim of her straw hat curves down across her forehead, and a robin’s egg-blue ribbon is tied around the crown into a bow at the back. Puffy feathers of the same blue billow up and forward at the front of the hat. She stands at a wooden table that extends off the right side of the canvas. A deep blue bowl sitting on bright gold feet holds pale pink, yellow, crimson-red, and aquamarine-blue flowers. The woman holds up a pink flower, perhaps a rose, in her left hand and ties it with a blue ribbon.
