Subject: A young woman in a pale yellow short-sleeved dress adorned with pink ribbons, wearing a very large hat decorated with feathers and flowers. She is caressing a dog (likely a spaniel) in a romantic garden setting.
-
Style: Typical representation of Rococo or late 18th-century fashion, in the spirit of portraits by Thomas Gainsborough or Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Very popular in chromolithographs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Medium: The weave of the fabric is clearly visible → it is a chromolithograph laid down on canvas, a technique very popular around 1900-1910 to imitate oil paintings.

The antique frame highlights the delicacy of this tender scene. An ideal piece for lovers of romantic and refined style.
