This impressionist work depicts a woman in an elegant blue dress and a wide-brimmed floral hat seated at a green garden table. She appears to be engaged in needlework or preparing tea, with a silver teapot, teacups, and a bowl of fruit set before her. The lush green background suggests an outdoor terrace or garden setting, rendered with visible, rhythmic brushstrokes characteristic of late 19th-century European plein air painting. The piece is signed and dated 1894 in the lower right corner, featuring the artist's monogram within a diamond shape. It is presented in an ornate gilt frame with scrolling foliate patterns.
