Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a white dress and black scarf sits, looking out, against a patterned wall

Detailed Description

A woman is seated in a vertical composition, positioned centrally and towards the lower right. She is angled slightly to her right, with her head turned to face the viewer. She has light-toned skin and dark hair pulled back, with her lips slightly upturned at the corners. A small pink flower is visible in her hair on the right side of her head. She wears a long-sleeved white dress with a high collar and a black, flowing scarf or shawl draped around her neck and extending down her front. The cuff of her left sleeve, visible on the lower left, has a black scalloped trim. Her left hand rests on her lap, partially obscured. The background is a warm yellowish-brown wall with a repeating, abstract pattern of green leaf-like shapes. To the left, a portion of a dark red upholstered chair or sofa is visible, with some indistinct floral patterns in red and green on its armrest. Light illuminates her from the upper left, highlighting her face and the folds of her white dress. The overall palette is warm, with the white and black of her attire providing contrast.
