This painting is a study of a woman's head, depicted in profile. She has dark hair pulled back into a bun, and her face is turned to the left. The artist has used loose brushstrokes to capture the subject's features, with visible strokes of paint on the canvas. The background is a light color, which helps the subject stand out. The painting is quite expressive, with the subject's face conveying a sense of calmness. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the subtleties of the subject's features, from the dark tones of her hair to the lighter shades of her skin. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw, where you can see more works by the artist, Jan Ciągliński.
