A vertically oriented hazy charcoal-gray lithograph on beige paper depicts a woman standing in a long, ruffled gown. From a side-back view, she faces left with her hands raised, holding a fan near her face. Grainy shading and sketchy lines define her cinched waist and bunned hair against a blurred background. The composition focuses on the soft, layered ruffles of her dress trailing onto the ground in the foreground.
