This painting depicts the upper half of a woman's body. She is turned slightly to the left and faces us, with pale skin, soft, rosy cheeks, dark brown eyes, and a neutral expression. She has curly brown hair that is in an updo, with small curls framing her forehead. She is wearing a short-sleeved black dress with a square, lace-trimmed neckline, and has a bright red shawl draped over her shoulders. The background is a solid dark brown color.
