The painting shows a woman sitting with her arms crossed, wearing a white dress with a grey bodice. The dress has a high collar and long sleeves. The woman has dark hair pulled back, and she is looking to the left. The background is a plain brown color. The woman's face is painted in a realistic style, with subtle shading and texture. Her eyes are cast downward, giving her a contemplative expression. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet introspection. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this portrait, you might want to look up J. Alden Weir.
