The image shows a painting of a woman who is depicted from the waist up. She is positioned sitting or leaning to one side, with her head turned and gazing to her left. Her facial features include red lips and dark eyebrows. Her hair is light brown or perhaps gray, styled in loose waves that frame her face. The woman is wearing a light-colored dress with a deep neckline adorned with lace, and a belt cinching the waist. She holds a small bunch of flowers with red petals close to her neck, and there is a red ribbon around her wrist. The background is dark and abstract, with hints of greenery or foliage.
