The dress is a combination of red and white, with a red skirt and a white top featuring a red bow at the neckline. The woman's face is not visible, and she is shown from the waist up. The dress is the main focus of the painting, with the woman's body language suggesting a sense of elegance and poise. The use of red and white colors creates a striking contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the dress. For more information on the subject of this painting, look up "womenswear".
