The image shows a woman lying on her side on a grassy surface. She is positioned on her left side with her left arm bent under her head, and her legs are slightly bent. Her face is mostly obscured but her dark, wavy hair is visible, held back with a small clip. She is wearing a dark-colored coat, a knee-length skirt with vertical stripes, light-colored socks, and dark, flat shoes. Next to her, there is a handbag, a cluster of daisy-like flowers, and an umbrella lying across her legs. The background consists of grass covering the entire area with no other structures or objects visible.
