The painting shows a woman's profile, facing left. She has long, curly hair and wears a dress with a low neckline. The background is a light color. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate fashion, with curls framing her face. Her dress appears to be made of a luxurious fabric, with intricate details visible in the folds of the fabric. This painting is a great example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and beauty.
