This impressionistic oil painting, executed on board, depicts a woman in 1920s attire seated in profile within a blooming summer garden. The subject rests in a folding wooden deck chair on a green lawn, surrounded by a dense arrangement of flowers and climbing roses that scale a wooden pergola and a brick boundary wall. A small greenhouse or garden structure is visible in the middle distance under a pale sky. The artist employs loose, textured brushwork with significant impasto in the floral passages to convey dappled light and vibrant organic forms. The work is signed and dated 1926 J. F. Slater in the lower right corner. The painting is housed in a decorative, wide gilded wooden frame featuring a moulded repeating pattern along the inner slip.
