The Stroll

The figure stands tall and narrow, both hands closed around the gilt parasol shaft, the canopy tilted back to show its blue lining. Her high-waisted gown is scattered with small painted roses and outlined along the hem with a fine dark line. A frilled bonnet frames the face and a double strand of pearls sits at the throat. The train sweeps away to the left and settles over a white base finished with gold scrolls.
