This painting is a portrait of a woman, depicted in profile. She is wearing a blue shawl and a white bonnet with a large bow on top. The background of the painting is a light beige color. The woman's face is turned to the left, and her features are delicately rendered. Her eyes are cast downward, and her mouth is set in a gentle expression. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
