The portrait depicts a member of the artist's family, Olga Oberhummer (born Lindpainter). Olga Luise (31 January 1884 - 27 August 1981) was the daughter of Dr. Julius Lindpainter, a doctor from Munich, and his wife Mary, who subsequently married the artist. Olga's father died when she was eight years old. Olga and her brother Otto Lindpainter were raised at their grandmother's house, because Franz von Stuck did not want to keep them in his home. However, the children had contact with their mother on a daily basis. Otto Lindpainter became a pilot while Olga attended a school called Viktoria-Stift in Karlsruhe. After school she moved back to Munich and lived with a landlady. In 1908 she married Hugo Oberhummer, who gave her two daughters called Olga and Gabrielle. Her husband was the son of a consultant and a businessman himself. We know from private sources that Olga was often seen as a guest at Stuck's dinner parties, but mostly without her husband.

Stuck produced several portraits of his stepdaughter.  Most of them were painted before her marriage to Hugo Oberhummer in 1908. Stuck's first portrait of Olga, entitled The Florentine shows her in a profile view, dressed as a typical Renaissance woman. The paintings executed afterwards can be divided into two groups on the basis of their posture, as well as of the clothes and jewellery worn. Our portrait belongs to the first group. In this particular case Stuck painted the half-length portrait of his 23-year-old stepdaughter seen in three-quarters profile from the left. Her torso is seen from the side, while her face gazes out at the viewer. Her hair is worn in a bun and she sports a band on her forehead, whilst on the back of her head she wears another head jewel. Her festive green-white dress boasts a stylish sleeve. One strip runs over her shoulder, two other strips lie on her left arm. Her crêpe-dress is gathered under her bust. The background is dashed with red-orange-green lines. The artist's signature appears on the right, in the middle of Olga's shadow. Stuck was accustomed to painting his daughters and thus he also painted his natural daughter Olga. The painting is marked by a peculiar colouring that is characteristic of Symbolism. The original frame enhances the general impression and gives the painting its authenticity.
