The painting depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a white dress with a low neckline and a dark shawl. She holds a small red flower in her right hand. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her gaze is directed downward. The background of the painting is dark and muted, with subtle brushstrokes that suggest a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's face and the flower she holds.
