This painting depicts a woman in a flowing, draped gown, sitting on a chair with her legs crossed. She is holding a flute to her lips, as if about to play it. The background is a muted green color, with some darker green and yellow tones visible. The woman's dress is a pale yellow-green color, and it appears to be made of a lightweight, flowing material. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a serene expression on her face. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness and tranquility.
