This painting depicts a woman in profile, facing left. She has dark hair styled in an updo with flowers and wears a black dress with a pink and white lace collar. The background is a deep red-brown color. The woman's face is rendered in soft, gentle brushstrokes, while her clothing is more loosely painted.
