Lady in White Dress with Red Scarf

Lost in thought and with slightly opened mouth the lady is leaning her head to the side and looks at the observer. Her searching look is additionally brought out by the dull grey-blue sky in the background. The rosebush emphasizes the sentimental tone of the picture whereas its vitality is underlined by the bright red cape. Although the lady's face does not correspond to the common ideal of beauty the artist avoided embellishing details and created a pleasant and touching picture.
