This painting depicts a woman in a white dress, her head turned to the right. She is shown from the waist up, with her face blurred. The background is dark and indistinct, with hints of vertical lines that may suggest a street scene. The woman's dress is loose-fitting, with a high neckline and short sleeves. Her hair is dark and styled in a bob. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought.
