This painting shows a woman sitting on a bed, looking to the right. She's wearing a white cloth wrapped around her body, and her hair is covered with a white band. The bed has a green curtain behind it, and there's a basket with objects in it on the floor. The woman seems to be waiting for someone, and the objects in the basket might be important to her. The painting has a lot of shadows, which makes it look dramatic. If you like this painting, you might want to check out more works by the artist, Eduard Bendemann.
