Her wavy, light blonde hair, adorned with a dark blue hat, is a striking contrast against the soft, abstract background. The hat, perched jauntily atop her head, adds a touch of vibrant color that echoes the youthful and fashionable spirit of Paris. The subject’s gaze is direct and slightly enigmatic, with red lips that provide a splash of bold color, intensifying her expression.Wennerberg's brushwork is loose and energetic, utilizing a palette of muted grays, blues, and blushes that convey a sense of liveliness and motion.
