This painting shows an upper-body portrait of a woman facing directly towards us with a neutral expression. The woman has a rounded face with pale skin, full pink lips, a small nose, and dark eyes. Her long, dark hair cascades down both sides of her face. She is wearing a large, light grey hat with black bows or ribbon-like adornments that curl down around her ears. She appears to wear a white dress with minimal detail visible. The background is in shades of pale red and pink, and the brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible.
