The painting depicts a woman with a slender face, dark hair, and a white shirt. She sits with her hands folded in her lap, wearing a black skirt. The background is a muted green wall. The woman's face is elongated, with a subtle, enigmatic expression. Her eyes are cast downward, and her lips are pressed together. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist's use of elongated forms and expressive faces, explore the works of Amedeo Modigliani.
