This is a beautiful Victorian Portrait of a lavishly dressed elegant young lady that is sitting on a red leather cushioned bench at a table having tea while writing some correspondence in a restaurant.
The young lady is dressed with a very large pale green flop hat that has a very large slate blue fan feather with two large gold tone pins inserted into the hat on opposite ends of it.
The young blonde is wearing small round pearl earrings, gold ring with an embedded pearl and red gemstone on the fourth finger of her right hand, and a gold ring with green gemstone on her right pinkie finger.
On her right wrist is a gold chain link bracelet that has two gold coins hanging from it; as well as gold chain necklace with embedded red and green gemstones with a gold coin as a centerpiece with an embedded pearl.
She has a beautiful embroidered high neck white blouse, with a blue striped jacket with velour lapels and cuffs over it; that is accented with a yellow rose at the top center of the buttoned jacket.
Over the jacket is a white fox stole that goes over her left shoulder and upper left arm, and around her back and over her right forearm and drapes over her brown skirt.
She is holding a dip pen in her right hand between her index finger and thumb over blank white sheets of paper on the table near a decorative saucer with a teaspoon on it by a brown and green teapot and an open ink well, while her left elbow rest on the table as she holds a teacup filled with tea.
Behind her is a marble ledge that connects to the bench and a decorative square base that has a large column with a gold gilded base; and the ledge is part of an embedded flowerpot that contains a combination, white roses, red roses, and pink roses.
Beyond the flowerpot are two other marble columns that have gold gilded tops that are connected to arch supports, with a large pane window looking onto a garden.

Émile Vernon era estudiant de l'escola de Belles Arts de Tours on va guanyar el primer premi de dibuix 1888; després va ser tutoritzat per William Bouguereau i Auguste Truphème.
Després a dins 1898 va participar a l'exposició de Belles Arts i Arts Decoratives de Tours i més tard aquell mateix any, a l'Exposició d'Artistes Francesos i hi exposava regularment la seva obra 1898 a 1913; presentant retrats, paisatges, escenes de la Bretanya, rams de bodegons que va pintar amb aquarel·la, així com les figures femenines, que després esdevingué una especialitat.
Émile va destacar en les seves pintures de llum suau, adorables figures de nens i dones joves elegants, amb qui sovint associava una mascota com un gat, gos o ocell, i adornava les seves imatges amb garlandes o rams de flors, al llarg de la seva carrera; but he was also a very versatile artist that could paint with rigor and power as in his works the portrait of Madame Vernon and Sous la Lampe (Sota el llum).
