This painting depicts a woman in a pink and green dress, with her dark hair styled in an updo. She is set against a dark background, with a landscape visible on the left side of the image. The woman's attire is formal, with a pink shawl draped over her shoulders and a green skirt that falls to her ankles. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes that give the image a sense of texture and depth. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, with a neutral expression that suggests a sense of calm and composure. The painting is held at the Brooklyn Museum.
