A woman stands among slender tree trunks, her figure framed by dappled light and shadow beneath a leafy canopy. She wears a pale, full-length dress that catches the sunlight, its delicate folds rendered in loose, textured strokes of pink, white, and blue. Broad, visible brushstrokes animate the scene, especially in the grass and trees, where Monet layers thick, quick marks to evoke the movement of air and light.

The composition places the woman just off center, with vertical tree trunks echoing her upright pose and leading the eye upward through the painting. At the lower left, the artist’s signature, 'Claude Monet,' is painted in dark script against the soft ground. The woman’s straw hat casts a soft shadow across her forehead and eyes, creating a gentle contrast with the sunlit areas of her face.

No other figures are visible in the scene, and the background consists entirely of trees, foliage, and dappled sunlight. The upper right corner of the painting is filled with dense, overlapping brushstrokes of green, blue, and white, suggesting thick leaves and filtered light. The lower right edge of the canvas features dark, textured greens and browns, indicating deeper shadow and denser undergrowth.

The woman’s jacket is painted in cool blue-gray tones, with loose, broken lines that blend into the background foliage. Sunlight falls unevenly across the ground, illuminating patches of grass with bright yellow-green highlights while leaving other areas in shadow. The tree trunks are rendered in vertical strokes of pale pink, lavender, and brown, with some edges softened where they merge into the leafy canopy above. Claude Monet created this portrait in 1887, capturing Suzanne in a moment of quiet presence outdoors.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art lists this work in its collection and provides the full title, linking the sitter to her later married name and her lifespan, 1868–1899. The museum’s record identifies the painting as part of the Annenberg Collection, received by bequest in 2002.
