A painting titled "Portrait of a Woman, with a Hilly Seashore" from 1907 by Frank Nankivell. This artwork depicts a vibrant, impressionistic scene with a woman in the foreground and a coastal landscape behind her. The woman, with fair skin and dark, wavy hair, is shown from the waist up, slightly off-center to the right, looking back over her left shoulder towards the viewer with a subtle smile. She wears a light, strapless gown with brushstrokes of pink, orange, yellow, blue, and white, and a striking necklace of colorful, bead-like jewels in green, blue, yellow, and red. Her form is softly rendered with flowing lines and blended colors.

The setting is a lush, tropical environment. On the far left, a tall palm tree with a slender, mottled trunk and bright green fronds stands prominent. Beneath it, a sandy beach is visible, with hints of blue, yellow, and green. The sea stretches across the mid-ground, a vivid mosaic of blues, greens, aquas, and purples, speckled with lighter colors suggesting sun reflections on the water. In the distance, a hilly coastline with dense, multicolored foliage and scattered structures
