The image depicts a woman seated in a red upholstered chair. She has dark brown, curly hair falling over her left shoulder and is wearing a white dress with a green ribbon tied around the waist. A dark shawl with lace-trimmed sleeves is draped over her shoulders. The woman has a composed expression with softly smiling lips and large, slightly downturned eyes.
