这幅画作中，画家在女神的头部边缘施以朦胧的淡蓝色，恰似梦幻般的远景，映衬和彰显整个画面人物的靓丽和大气，面部肤色及五官的描写，尤其是肤色、眼睛，发丝细腻的勾画，头上罩着的黑色蕾丝头纱，靓丽高贵的服饰，光芒闪耀的胸饰，她的脸上流露出一丝微笑，她的笑是那么轻微，又是那么唯美的自然，微笑中透射出的自信和活力，让人屏住呼吸的欣赏和感染，画家竭尽全力的描绘，这种浪漫主义手法的表现，让整个女神的自信和高贵的美跃然纸上。在伦敦和美丽的泰晤士河流域居住区，盛传哈里特·尼古拉斯是当时英国绝美的女人！
当时用水彩画能够绘制这么美丽的肖像，也是只有在水彩画起源的英国才会有。
1850年这位美丽的女神哈里特·尼古拉斯因病去世，她的丈夫科利尔及家人非常悲伤， 科利尔3个月闭门不出，后在亲朋好友的劝说下，才外出参加活动。他把妻子的这幅画像从大厅摘下后，悬挂于自己密闭的书房内，每日不时端详，寄托对美丽妻子的思念之情！
哈里特·尼古拉斯（Harriet Nicholas 1793-1850）是英国国会议员、海军军官和奴隶贩子托马斯·弗兰克兰爵士的侄女。
她的父亲是威尔特郡克里克拉德的议员罗伯特·尼古拉斯，也是他和妻子夏洛特·弗兰克兰的第四个女儿。
她性格开朗，自信，受过极好的教育，1816年，她嫁给了海军中将亨利·迪奥多西·布朗·科利尔，科利尔曾在装有20门大炮的法尔茅斯号舰艇上执行过任务，有过荣耀的海军生涯。婚后哈里特·尼古拉斯和科利尔相依厮守，生活美满，让许多英国人所羡慕。两人育有3个儿子和4个女儿。
哈里特·尼古拉斯从小就表现出极高的绘画天赋，经常临摹圣经上的肖像，后在父母的安排下在英国皇家画院学习，她在画院只停留了短暂的4个月时间，后潜心研究，并领悟了绘画的真谛。绘制女人水彩肖像画是她的专长，她的画下人物神态高雅大气，生动逼真，有欧洲文艺复兴的内涵，她吸取了莎士比亚时期女王及王室贵族的画风，兼具维多利亚早期浪漫自信的肖像画风，她博采众长，吸收油画中光色对人像的刻意表现画法，并运用至水彩画的肖像中，为当时贵族阶层所推崇的画法。但因为当时英国上层贵族和皇室最为欣赏和喜爱油画，水彩画也极近冷落和表现不佳。
