The painting depicts a young woman standing in front of a window, wearing a cauchoise dress. Her right hand is raised, and her left hand rests on the windowsill. The woman's face is tilted slightly downward, and her eyes are cast downward. The woman's dress is a light color, and her sleeves are puffed at the shoulder. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the woman's light-colored dress. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, you might want to look up Gilbert Stuart Newton.
