The painting depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a dark hat adorned with a light-colored band. Her hand is raised to her chin, and she is dressed in a dark jacket with a white ruffled collar. The woman's gaze is directed to the left, and her facial expression appears contemplative. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the darker tones of the woman's clothing and hat. This portrait, titled "The Gainsborough Hat," is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
