The painting shows a woman's portrait. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used pastels on paper, which is an interesting technique because it's delicate and requires skill to blend colors, and this portrait is also attached to fabric, adding an extra layer of texture. This adds a unique touch to the portrait. The subject of the portrait seems to be from a different time period. To learn more about similar techniques, look up the technique: stippling.
