The sitter is shown wearing a corsage of white lilac. The bust was exhibited at the Salon of the 'Union des femmes peintres et sculpteurs' in 1891, no. 11 in the catalogue, with the accompanying poem: 'Se peut-il qu'un regard aussi plein de tendresse / Soit ici bas? / C'est un parfum léger, qui vous prend, / vous caresse, / Rose et blanc lilas.’ (Could there be a look more filled with tenderness / here on Earth below? / It is a light scent that takes hold of you, / caresses you, / Pink and white lilac'.
