The painting depicts a woman in a red dress, seated in a green chair. She is holding a white cloth in her lap, and her right leg is crossed over her left. The woman has dark hair and is wearing a white undergarment beneath her red dress. The background of the painting is a light-colored wall, and there is a table to the left of the woman with a white cloth and some fruit on it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she sits in her chair. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography, and the artist, Theodor Pallady, was known for his use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
