This painting shows a woman's profile, facing left. She has dark hair and wears a dark dress with a high neckline. The background is red, with a decorative gold border around the woman. The woman's face is turned to the side, and her hair is covered with a dark cloth. The border around her is ornate, with leaves and flowers carved into it. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
