It took me quite a while to figure out what was going on in this portrait, which is part of why I like it! At first I thought it was some sort of rod she holds, pointing off to the left--but I finally realized it is the handle of a parasol, tipped 90 degrees to its side. (Adding the confusion is what I presume is the rolled cuff of the right sleeve, which looks almost like a brace attached to her arm.) And then this curious gesture she makes with her raised hand, as if to grasp the brim of a large hat that is not there! Plus I love her face, and that she is perched atop a rock!
5 1/2" x 3 1/2", good condition, unused back.
