This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a dark dress with lace around her neck and sleeves. She also has a lace bonnet on her head. The background is a dark wall with a light-colored curtain on the left side. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her hands are resting on her lap. She is looking straight ahead with a neutral expression. The overall mood of the painting is formal and serious. The artist who created this portrait is Gilbert Stuart.
