A painted portrait of a woman in a dark hat and light gray coat, looking right
A vertical, loosely painted portrait depicts a woman from the chest up, positioned slightly left of center and facing right in profile. Her skin is pale, with subtle pink tones on her cheeks and lips. Her light brown hair is visible beneath a large, dark, wide-brimmed hat that appears black or very dark gray. The hat has an irregular, somewhat crumpled shape with a small, dark decorative element on its crown. She wears a light gray coat or jacket, characterized by broad, visible brushstrokes, and a high, ruffled white collar. Her right arm is bent, and her pale, elongated fingers are visible holding a thin, dark object, possibly a cane or umbrella handle, against her body. The background is a muted, light gray, rendered with broad, visible brushstrokes of dark gray and black, creating an abstract, textured backdrop that lacks specific details. The painting is characterized by broad, visible brushstrokes and a limited color palette primarily of grays, blacks, and pale skin tones.
