This painting depicts a woman's profile, set against a dark background. The woman's face is turned to the right, with her hair pulled back and a headband or ribbon tied around her forehead. She wears a dark dress with a high neckline, and her features are rendered in a realistic style. The painting is executed in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the subject's gaze directed away from the viewer. The painting is held at the Groeningemuseum.
