The painting depicts a woman sitting at a table, surrounded by a few objects. She is wearing a dark dress and has her hand on her chin, looking down. The table has a white cloth and a few items on it, including a plant and a basket. The background is a window with red curtains, and there is a chair in front of the table. The woman's pose suggests she is lost in thought, and the objects on the table may be significant to her. The overall atmosphere of the painting is quiet and contemplative.
