In the painting, a woman is depicted wearing a white head covering and a red dress with floral embroidery. She is shown sitting with her hands clasped together in front of her. The background is dark and indistinct, with some hints of a landscape visible behind the woman. The woman's clothing and head covering suggest that she may be from a rural or traditional background. The artist has used oil paint to create a detailed and realistic portrait of the woman. The painting is held at the Hungarian National Gallery.
