Summary:
Three-quarter-length portrait of the artist's daughter seated with her left arm resting on the back of her rattan armchair. She faces forward while the chair faces left. She wears a white dress with black tie at the neckline, maroon-colored sweater, and a wide-brimmed hat. A few branches hang around her head and the sea is in the background.
