The dress is a dark color, possibly black or dark gray, and features a full skirt and a V-neckline. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she wears long gloves that match the color of her dress. The painting is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, capturing the glamour of high fashion in the mid-20th century.
