A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a woman with light skin tone facing forward as she looks out at us, her dark hair pinned up. She wears a lavender and pink dress with ruffled sleeves and holds a reddish-brown violin horizontally across her waist. Soft, visible brushwork defines her form. Light from our left highlights her face and chest against a mottled brown background, while her lower body recedes into shadow.
