This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, looking down. She's wearing a white headscarf and a dark dress with a white shawl around her shoulders. The woman's face is serious, and her eyes seem sad. Her hands are resting on her lap, and she's not looking directly at the viewer. The background is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The artist who painted this is Ilya Repin.
