Brief Description

A woman's head and shoulders in profile, facing left, with dark hair and a plum-colored garment

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a woman's head and shoulders in profile, facing left, against a solid, dark background. Her skin is fair, with a soft pink blush on her cheeks and lips. Her dark brown hair is styled away from her face and pulled back, revealing her ear and a small, decorative gold-toned ornament nestled in a bun or coil at the back of her head. Her visible left eye is dark and appears to gaze slightly upward. She has a straight nose and full, reddish lips. Her neck is long and extends from her shoulders. She is dressed in a light, cream-colored undergarment, visible at her chest and neck, beneath a loose outer garment. This outer garment is a muted plum or dusty rose color, featuring a wide band of textured gold-colored trim that runs along its opening, down her chest, and over her shoulders. The primary light source originates from the left, illuminating her face and the front of her attire, while casting subtle shadows on the right side of her neck and the folds of her clothing.
