This painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a white dress with a blue bow at the top. She has a white shawl wrapped around her shoulders, and a black fur piece draped over her lap. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she is wearing a white headpiece. The background of the painting is a dark wall with a cloudy sky visible through a window behind her. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her posture suggests she is relaxed. The artist has used oil paint to create a realistic and detailed image of the woman and her surroundings. The painting is held at the Scottish National Gallery.
