The painting features a woman with dark hair, wearing a pearl necklace and a white dress with a red sash. She is set against a dark background. The woman's gaze is directed towards the viewer, and her expression is neutral. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Rembrandt, who was known for his use of chiaroscuro to create dramatic effects.
