A woman stands turned three-quarters away from the viewer, her head glancing back over her shoulder, her gaze directed outward from the depths of a dark, velvety backdrop. She is dressed in a striking green gown that cascades to the floor in bold, shimmering folds, the fabric catching the light in alternating bands of emerald and shadow. The dress is accented by a black jacket trimmed with a warm, tawny fur at the cuffs, collar, and hem, adding a tactile contrast to the smooth sheen of the skirt.

A matching fur-trimmed hat sits atop her dark hair, its ribbons trailing down beside her face, framing her pale, sharply lit features. The background is a deep, textured brown, painted with broad, vertical strokes that suggest heavy drapery and set off the luminous green of the dress. Light falls from the left, illuminating the woman's face and the upper folds of her gown, while the shadows behind her intensify the sense of depth and drama.

The artist’s brushwork is visible in the sweep of the skirt and the soft, feathery edges of the fur, giving the surface a sense of movement and richness. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figure positioned slightly off-center, her voluminous dress flowing diagonally across the lower half of the canvas. Near the bottom right corner, the artist’s signature appears clearly, anchoring the work in the hand of its creator.

No secondary figures or objects appear in the composition, leaving the woman as the sole subject against an unbroken background. The lower left corner of the canvas is dominated by the sweeping green skirt, which pools onto the ochre-colored floor and creates a sense of movement. The background is rendered in deep brown tones with visible vertical brushstrokes, suggesting the folds of heavy curtains or drapery.

Light falls most strongly on the woman’s face, the upper fur trim, and the left side of the skirt, while the right side of the dress and background recede into shadow. Dark, almost black lines run through the green fabric, emphasizing the sharp pleats and the volume of the skirt with bold, gestural paintwork. Camille in green dress is painted by Claude Monet in 1866.
