The painting depicts a woman standing in front of a mirror, with her back to the viewer. She is nude, except for a pair of black stockings and shoes. The room is decorated with a yellow wallpaper and a white bedspread, and there is a black metal bed frame visible in the foreground. The woman's dark hair is styled in an updo, and she appears to be adjusting her stockings. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet intimacy, with the woman lost in her own thoughts as she prepares for the day.
