This painting depicts a woman in a blue dress, facing the viewer with her head turned slightly to her right. Her hair is styled in an updo, adorned with a small white object on top. The background of the painting is a dark brown color. The woman's dress features a low neckline and long sleeves, with a black ribbon tied around her neck. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting in her lap. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement.
