The artwork depicts a fashion illustration, showcasing a woman in a stylish blue garden dress designed by Poiret. The dress, made of blue wool crepe, is accented with pink details and includes lingerie cuffs and fichu. The figure stands gracefully amidst a garden setting, adorned with blooming flowers and lush greenery. With a gentle tilt of her head, the woman exudes elegance and poise. A bee hovers near a pink rose, further enhancing the idyllic garden scene.
