In this artwork, Millais achieves a harmony between the depictions of young womanhood and the beauty of nature. However, Victorian convention frowned upon young women being out alo ne and the sitter's uneasy pose may indicate that her situation was fraught with danger. She looks towards the right as if waiting for someone.
