You see a woman sitting in a yellow chair. She's wearing a red dress and has a serious expression. Her hands are tense, with lots of brushstrokes and dark lines around them, which is interesting because it shows how the artist felt about her. You can look up the technique of impasto to learn more about how this was done.
