The painting features a female head, rendered in a realistic style. The subject's hair is pulled back, and her gaze is directed upwards. The background of the painting is divided into two sections: a light yellow area on the left and a darker yellow area on the right. A notable aspect of the painting is the subtle play of light and shadow on the subject's face, which adds depth and dimension to the portrait.
