The painting depicts a young girl with a neutral expression, her head turned slightly to the left. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a dark dress with a high neckline. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait, with the subject's face and upper body emerging from the shadows.
