Her long, dark hair cascades down her back, and she wears a white, draped garment that exposes her right shoulder and breast. The background is a dark, shadowy area. The woman's expression is serene, and her gaze is directed slightly to the right. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and tranquility.
