This painting shows a woman sitting on a chair, holding a fan in her right hand. She's wearing a dark-colored dress with a light-colored undergarment. The chair has a backrest and armrests. There's a small table to her left with a vase on it. The background is a room with a window that has a tree and plants outside. The woman seems to be lost in thought, with her eyes cast downward. Her posture is relaxed, with her legs crossed and her weight shifted to one side. The overall mood of the painting is serene and contemplative.
