Out of the darkness of the evening park on the background of massive marble columns stands the majestic figure of a beautiful young woman in a rich dress with a powder hairdo. She leaned slightly on the ledge of the column, to which the raincoat with the ermine trim was casually thrown, and next to it – an indispensable attribute of the ducal authority – the ducal crown with the family coat of arms.
The artist is clearly fascinated by the young woman, he emphasizes her dignity of the duchess, however, deprived of pomp, stiffness, and also undoubted femininity and gentle features.
