A delightful Impressionist portrait of a demure, but sophisticated, beautiful young damsel wearing a broad-brimmed pink-white hat with black feathers on top and a transparent veil; draped in a billowing pink-white diaphanous dress; and holding a large, elaborate transparent white fan decorated with butterflies. She is seated on a chair with a matching pink slipper shoe coquettishly peeking out at the bottom of her dress.
