The figure stands next to a gap in the wall gazing towards the saturated sunset which defines her form with a halo-like glow and leaves a sharp trail of molten gold leaves across the road and pavement. The intensity of the fading sunlight emanating from the horizon has generated a heat haze which obscures the details of the further gateposts and the distant house at the bend in the road. In the foreground the naturalistically modelled branches have been dipped in green and gold, the strength of the sunlight casting a camouflage shadow pattern of their contours on the fence and walls.
