This portrait depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a dark-colored dress or jacket with a white or light-colored top underneath. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on a red surface, possibly a table or chair. The background of the painting is dark and indistinct. The woman's face is turned slightly to her left, and she looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. Her dark hair is styled in a bob, with a few loose strands framing her face. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this portrait, you might want to explore the work of Cecil William Rea.
