DescriptionImage of a French woman posing with her young son riding a dog. She is wearing a red jacket edged with what appears to be feathers, over a full pleated skirt with a floral border print. Her ornate hat features layers of blue ruffles with a veil hanging beneath her chin. Even her umbrella is ornately patterned and trimmed with a pink ruffle. The little boy sits on the large black dog, holding onto its ears as he looks up with a smile. He wears a furry button-front jacket over yellow pants, and a round brown cap. A cherry blossom tree frames the blue sky overhead, with pink petals drifting down over the figures.
