A woman in a pale pink dress holds a green sprig, a grey parrot on a stand
A full-length portrait depicts a woman standing centrally against a dark, plain background. She has reddish-brown hair pulled back with a blue ribbon and a pale complexion. Her light-colored eyes look directly forward, and she wears a black choker with a gold medallion. She is dressed in a long, loose-fitting pale pink gown with long sleeves that have white cuffs. A row of light-colored buttons extends down the front of her dress. Her right hand, held near her chest, grasps a small green sprig. Her left hand, positioned lower, holds a lorgnette attached to a long string that hangs from her neck. To her right, a grey parrot with red tail feathers is perched on a dark wooden stand. The stand has several horizontal crossbars and a round, shallow metal tray at its base. Inside the tray, a partially peeled citrus fruit, possibly a grapefruit or orange, lies with its peel scattered nearby. The floor beneath her and the stand is a slightly lighter shade of the dark background.
