In this painting, a woman sits on a chair, her right elbow resting on the armrest and her chin supported by her hand. She wears a white dress with a black ribbon around her neck and has dark hair styled up. The background is a warm, earthy tone, with hints of blue and red visible behind her. The woman's pose conveys a sense of quiet contemplation, as if lost in thought. The artist's use of soft, muted colors adds to the serene atmosphere of the scene.
