The painting depicts a woman with long hair and a crown, wearing a necklace and a bracelet. She is dressed in a short, sleeveless top and a skirt that reaches her knees. Her right arm is bent, and her left arm is straight, with her hand resting on her hip. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her eyes are cast downward. The background of the painting is a solid color, which helps to focus attention on the figure. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness. This painting is reminiscent of the work of other Romanticism artists.
