The painting depicts a woman sitting at a table, her head resting on her arm. The woman is dressed in a dark dress and appears to be in a state of exhaustion or sadness. The room is dimly lit, with a window in the background that allows a sliver of light to enter. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, highlighting the woman's emotional state. The artist's use of oil paint adds a sense of richness and texture to the work.
