This painting shows a woman from the side, facing left. She has shoulder-length blonde hair and wears a red dress with a black undergarment. A white headscarf covers the back of her head. The woman's face is serene, with a neutral expression. Her gaze is directed forward, and her lips are slightly parted. The background of the painting is solid black, which contrasts with the vibrant colors of the woman's clothing.
