This figure of a woman with a melancholic attitude, sitting in front of a landscape and holding freshly picked flowers, cultivates mystery. The precision with which the painter has depicted her face could suggest a portrait. However, the identity of her model remains unknown and her features seem both realistic and idealised.
The Flower of the Fields jewelry, freely inspired by this painting, recalls the crown finely composed of white bindweed, wild and ephemeral flowers, which illuminates the black hair of this pensive young woman.
