This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair. She is wearing a light-colored dress with lace trim and a pearl necklace. Her dark hair is styled in loose curls, and she is looking directly at the viewer. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her right arm resting on the arm of the chair and her left hand in her lap. The background of the painting is a muted brown color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The level of detail in the painting suggests that it was created by a skilled artist. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up William Hogarth.
