A pretty young lady smiles to us as she shows her charm pendant, a heart with jewels along the edges. Her innocent and expressive bluish green eyes, the cute look of her slightly upturned shoulder, and the pure beauty of her smile can't help but lift the spirits of even the most jaded types. Cutting through the softness of the light palette is the brilliant gold leaf of the umbrella and band across her dress, a great effect and a very pleasing box to look at overall. It is made out of high quality papier mache and has a hinge at the left. The interior is red. It is signed with the name of the artist (Yashonkova) and title on the bottom, which lies flush on the table.
