The woman's face is turned to the side, and her hands are resting on her lap. The painting is done in muted colors, with the woman's dress being the main focus. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft, romantic feel to the painting. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to explore the Romanticism movement.
