This painting shows a woman in a white dress with a red and gold vest. She is wearing a headband with a pattern of red, blue, and gold. The background is gray. The woman's face is blurred, but she seems to be looking down. Her right hand is raised, and her left arm is bent at the elbow. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, you might want to look up Jean Baptiste Camille Corot.
