Renoir’s use of light accentuates the smooth texture of her skin and the lively sparkle in her eyes, conveying a sense of liveliness and character.She wears a stylish gray-blue dress with a high collar, which adds to her refined appearance. One of the most striking elements of the portrait is the colorful floral adornment that cascades from her shoulder, adding a vivid contrast to her dress. This floral arrangement is painted with loose, energetic strokes of red, orange, and yellow, which not only draw the eye but also add a dynamic, almost three-dimensional effect to the composition.Caroline’s hair is elegantly styled in an updo, adorned with feathers that enhance the sophisticated style typical of the era.
