The painting depicts a woman wearing a white head covering with a red dress and a white shawl. She is holding a bouquet of flowers in her right hand. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it may be from the early 19th century. The use of oil paint and the dark background also indicate that the artist may have been influenced by the Romantic movement.
