Shown from the knees up, a woman with pale, almost white-colored skin looks out at us in this hazy, shadowy vertical painting. The setting is painted with smudged browns around a corner of electric-blue sky at the upper right. The woman rests her right elbow, to our left, up on a surface, presumably a rocky ledge, but details are difficult to make out. Her shoulders are angled slightly to our left, but her face is turned to us. She looks out with dark eyes under lowered brows. At first glance she seems to look at us, but a closer look shows that outlining around her irises and eyelids…
