Full length impressionistic portrait of Lyndra Lees, wife of the artist, against an idealised landscape setting. She is shown seated on the banks of a small pool, surrounded by grasses and reeds, dipping one foot gently into the water. Behind her the ground rises steeply up to a dark hillside, silhouetted against the pale sky. The landscape is comprised of a patchwork of flat coloured planes, such as yellow, green and salmon pink. Daubs of paint in the hills and sky represent tonal variation in the landscape.
