This painting shows a woman sitting at a wooden table. She wears a white dress with a green shawl draped over her left shoulder. Her curly brown hair is pulled back into a bun. In her right hand, she holds a small, round portrait of a man. On the table in front of her is a glass of water and a palette of paints with a brush. The woman's gaze is directed at the viewer, and her expression is calm and introspective. The background of the painting is a dark, muted color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. This painting is a great example of the work of Domenico Del Frate.
