A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a woman from the waist up, seated and turned toward our right. She has light skin tone and looks at us with a firm expression and dark hair curled at her temples. She wears a ruffled white cap and an intricate lace collar with an oval brooch. A maroon velvet wrap covers her shoulders. Brushstrokes create smooth shades, her hand resting on a green armrest against a dark background.
