A lady (the artist’s wife) in outdoor costume, consisting of a brown skirt and sleeveless jacket over a black bodice and petticoat, and a turban-like hat, stands in a conservatory surrounded by chrysanthemums, plucking some of the delicately colored blossoms. The figure is lighted from the upper right, and in the background is suggested the glass roof of the conservatory with a mass of flowering plants.
Signed at the lower right, Alb. Neuhuys.
