This painting shows a woman in a black dress with white lace at the neck and cuffs. She is standing in front of a red curtain. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and she is wearing a pearl necklace and earrings. Her hands are clasped together in front of her. The background is dark, with the red curtain on the right side of the painting. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast between the woman's dark clothing and the bright red curtain.
