The painting features a woman with dark hair, adorned with a red flower, gazing downward. Her bare shoulders and upper back are visible, and she appears to be holding a small object in her hands. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and her face is partially obscured by her hair and the angle of her head. The background of the painting is not clearly visible, but it appears to be a landscape with trees and a blue sky. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up William Denholm Kennedy.
