The painting depicts a woman with short, curly hair and a white blouse. She wears a pair of glasses with a wire frame and a cord that hangs from her left ear. The background is a muted gray color. The woman's expression is serious, and her gaze is directed straight ahead. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This portrait is a study of Alice Muskett, created by artist Julian Ashton in 1893. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, impasto, and sfumato techniques, look up Julian Ashton.
