Her dark hair is styled in loose curls, and she wears a red headband. The background of the painting is dark, with a subtle pattern of leaves visible behind the woman. The woman's dress is rendered in soft, feathery brushstrokes, giving the impression of delicate fabric. Her face is serene, with a subtle smile playing on her lips. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet elegance, with the woman's beauty and poise taking center stage.
