Lady with a Bird

She stands straight and holds a white bird on her raised palm, looking down at it. The navy tunic has a wide turned collar and a striped panel beneath, drawn in at the waist by a gold belt with a square clasp. Her other arm is turned outward, palm open. The long ivory skirt runs in narrow vertical pleats, with red piping picked out along the hem and the edges of the tunic. A cloche hat sits low on her brow.
