A woman stands in a sun-dappled glade, her white dress catching the light as she holds a black lace parasol above her shoulder. Her figure is nearly life-size, filling the vertical canvas from the grass at her feet to the leafy background above. The model’s gaze turns to her left, her face shaded by the parasol and a pale hat trimmed with red ribbons, while sunlight illuminates her dress and the ground beneath her.

Her right hand, gloved and relaxed, rests at her side, while her left hand delicately grips the parasol’s handle. Behind her, the rough bark of a tree trunk and the dense, green foliage of the forest create a shadowy backdrop, contrasting with the brightness of her dress. The composition places the figure slightly off-center, anchoring her presence in the natural setting and emphasizing the vertical sweep of her form.

A single thick tree trunk rises behind the woman, its bark painted with rough, horizontal strokes of brown and gray. The upper right corner of the canvas is filled with dark green foliage, rendered in loose, blended patches of color. Sunlight falls unevenly across the lower left edge, where the grass is painted in lighter, yellow-green tones.

The hem of the woman’s white dress pools onto the ground and is edged with soft blue shadows, contrasting with the deep black of the sash and underskirt. Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted Lise with a Parasol in 1867 at Chailly-en-Bière, depicting Lise Tréhot standing in the forest of Fontainebleau during summer. The work belongs to the Impressionism movement and is considered a portrait, with its subject dressed for a summer outing and surrounded by herbs and trees.
