Object description
Winter is associated with the image of a beautiful young woman on the canvas. The graceful figure is depicted against a brown background. Her elegant facial features are shown in a light shade of pink. The piercing look of her brown eyes, small nose, plump red lips with a flirty smile and rosy cheeks are imbued with a lyrical mood. The woman is dressed in a dark-coloured suit embroidered with fur. On her neck, there is a pendant. She is wearing a hat with a red ribbon on her head and two locks of brown hair coming from underneath it. Over her shoulder is a strap with a tray where various objects are placed. The portrait is characterised by a flat treatment of the image.
