The painting depicts a woman in a black dress with a white lace trim, holding a white cloth in her right hand. She has dark hair and wears a red ribbon in her hair, along with a black choker necklace and a gold belt buckle. The background is a plain off-white color. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a specific time period, and the artist's attention to detail in her clothing and accessories is notable. The use of oil paint and the overall style of the portrait are also characteristic of the time period in which it was created. This painting is held at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
