About this work

The painting shows a woman's profile, turned to the left. She has dark hair pulled back and is wearing a dark jacket. The background is a light color. The woman's face is painted in detail, with her features and expression visible. The rest of the painting is less detailed, with the background and the woman's clothing painted more loosely. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Edgar Degas.
