An oil portrait depicts a seated woman from the knees up, turned slightly to our left with her dark eyes looking at us. She has light skin tone and dark hair with forehead curls. She wears a high-waisted white dress with puffed, lace-edged sleeves and a red shawl draped around her. Her hands rest in her lap. Behind her, a tree rises against a dark, cloudy sky and distant hills.
