A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a nude Black woman with a dark skin tone seated in profile, facing our right. She wears a vibrant orange headwrap, her legs extending toward a tall, textured red and pink curtain. Her hand rests upon a white cloth draped over a seat. Muted brown and green brushwork fills the background, while light from our right illuminates her skin, highlighting the subtle contours of her body.
