A woman with curly brown hair, a blue ribbon, and a white dress, looking right
The painting is a vertical, half-length portrait of a woman against a dark, mottled background. The woman is positioned slightly to the right of the center, with her head turned to her right, gazing out of the frame. Her skin is fair, with rosy cheeks and lips. She has dark, possibly brown, eyes and a long, slender nose. Her curly, light brown hair is styled high on her head, with loose tendrils framing her face. A light blue ribbon is woven through her hair, forming a bow at the back of her head. She wears a white, flowing dress with a deep V-neckline. The fabric of the dress appears soft and gathered, creating folds and shadows. A light blue sash is tied around her waist, matching the ribbon in her hair. Her sleeves are long and loose, with ruffled cuffs visible near her hands. Her right arm is bent, with her hand resting near her waist. Her left hand is partially visible at the bottom right, appearing to hold or rest on the fabric of her dress. The background is a dark, abstract blend of greens and browns, with lighter, almost shimmering areas on the left that appear to be an indistinct landscape or body of water. The brushstrokes are visible throughout the painting, giving it a textured appearance.
