The artist chose to place this “young Creole woman” in front of a classical landscape with a lake, trees, mountains and a domed temple. This scene refers to the woman’s social and intellectual status, portraying her as a cultivated woman whose gold jewelry and beautiful clothing confirm her place in society.
