Long The woman, with bright red hair and blue eyes, looks directly at the viewer while wearing a navy pant suit and white ascot. She stands directly next to a large bird of paradise plant, whose leaves shade her from the intense light that renders much of the background a pure white. She appears to be standing near a large white house with more lush plants on its perimeter. The image has a light pink border.
