In this painting, a woman with long blonde hair is depicted in profile, facing left. She wears a headband and a white dress adorned with gold accents on her sleeves and around her neck. The woman's gaze is directed forward, and her expression is serene. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the woman's light-colored attire. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting. This technique is characteristic of Anders Zorn's work.
