The dress is sleeveless and features a full skirt, while the turban is white and covers her hair. To the right of the woman, a smaller drawing of a white dress is visible. The drawing is rendered in black ink, with the addition of orange and brown watercolor for the woman's skin and the dress. The background of the drawing is white. The artist's use of simple lines and minimal color creates a sense of elegance and sophistication. For more information on the artist's technique, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
