The artwork shows a woman in an elaborate historical dress, reclining on a garden bench. Her body is slightly tilted, with her head leaning back and one arm hanging loosely. She has a hairstyle adorned with flowers. The dress is detailed with lace and ruffles. Beside her is a parasol, and in the background, there is a classical bust on a pedestal surrounded by foliage. The setting is a garden with latticework and decorative urns. The scene is framed by trees and architectural elements.
