This painting shows a woman in a black dress, sitting in a chair. The woman has short brown hair and is wearing a black choker necklace. She is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The woman's dress is black with a low neckline and long sleeves. It appears to be made of a shiny fabric, possibly silk or satin. The background of the painting is a muted greenish-gray color, which helps to highlight the woman's dark dress. The artist of this painting is Berthe Morisot, a French painter known for her Impressionist works.
