The painting is a portrait of a woman. She is wearing a dark-colored dress with a white collar and a dark hat with a white flower on it. Her hair is short and curly. She is looking straight at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background of the painting is a solid red color. The woman's face and hands are the main focus of the painting, and they are painted in a realistic style. The rest of the painting is more subdued, with the dark colors of the dress and hat creating a sense of contrast with the bright red background. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Sanford Robinson Gifford.
