The painting shows a woman with dark hair pulled back, wearing a black dress with lace trim and red sleeves. She faces the viewer, her expression neutral. The woman's face is the main focus, with soft lighting that highlights her features. The background is a dark brown color, which helps to emphasize the woman's face and dress. This painting is a great example of the work of Jean-Jacques Henner.
