The painting depicts a woman in a flowing green dress, her arms outstretched and her head turned to the side. She stands on one leg, with the other bent behind her. The background is a plain, off-white color. The woman's dress is a beautiful shade of green, with layers of fabric that give it a sense of movement and flow. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a pair of white shoes. The overall effect is one of elegance and poise. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Władysław Podkowiński, who was known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques.
