A woman in a dark dress seated against a dark, leafy background, with hands clasped
A half-length portrait shows a woman seated, facing slightly to the viewer's left with her gaze directed forward. Her light-skinned face is framed by dark, wavy hair parted in the middle and pulled back, with some curls visible around her ears. She has dark eyes, a straight nose, and a neutral expression. She wears a dark, possibly black, garment that appears to be a dress or a shawl, with long sleeves. The cuffs of her sleeves are adorned with delicate, dark lace. At her throat, a reddish-brown, oval-shaped brooch with a lighter center is visible. Her hands are clasped together in her lap, with her fingers intertwined. The background on the left side features dark green foliage with hints of lighter green and blue. On the right, a dark reddish-brown element, possibly the back of a chair, is visible against a darker green background. The overall palette is dominated by dark greens and blacks, contrasting with the lighter tones of her skin.
