The painting depicts a woman with dark hair and a black dress with white trim, sitting in a chair. She is wearing a white lace collar and has her hands folded in her lap. The background is dark, with a hint of green on the left side. The woman's face is serious, with a subtle expression. Her eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that she is lost in thought. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and introspective.
