This portrait depicts a young woman in a red robe, her face turned to the left. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a light-colored dress under the red robe. The background is dark, which makes the subject stand out. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the woman's face and robe illuminated against the dark background. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the folds of the robe and the subject's facial expression. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, where you can see more works by Jean-Jacques Henner.
