The setting is a wetland environment, likely a marsh or bog, with tall grass and reeds growing abundantly around her. Behind her is a body of water, possibly a lake or pond, whose surface reflects the sky and surrounding vegetation. The water is a mix of blues and greens, with patches of light reflecting off its surface. The background is filled with wildflowers in shades of purple, pink, and white, creating a soft and colorful backdrop.
