The background reveals an intricately styled garden complete with lush greenery, a classical fountain, and the suggestion of a stately home. The gentle brushstrokes and washed colors envelop the scene in a light-filled, ethereal quality that is typical of Denis's approach during this period.This artwork is not just a mere portrait but a tableau that evokes the perfumed air of a late summer garden, emphasizing themes of youth, beauty, and nature—all hallmarks of Denis's symbolist interests.

French painter Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was one of the leading artists during the transition from Impressionism to Modern Art. He was heavily influenced by the Symbolist works of Paul Gauguin. Denis would paint with rich colors and experiment with warm and cool colors. Some of his theories have become the foundations of cubism, fauvism, and abstract art.
