Woman in white dress and large black hat on a green sofa, holding a red book
A three-quarter length depiction shows a woman seated on a green velvet sofa against a dark, plain background. She faces slightly to the viewer's right, with her head turned to look directly forward. Her skin is fair, and she has dark, curly hair that frames her face. She wears a large, wide-brimmed hat that is black on top with a prominent black bow, and a lighter, straw-colored underside. Her eyes are dark, and her lips are closed in a neutral expression. She is dressed in a white gown with a full, flowing skirt adorned with small, faint white polka dots. A dark blue or black sash is tied around her waist, with long ribbons hanging down the left side. A white shawl or scarf is draped over her shoulders and chest. Her long sleeves end in ruffled white cuffs. Her hands are clasped together, holding a small, open book with a red cover. The book shows lines of text or musical notation. The green velvet sofa features ornate gold trim along its back and the visible right armrest, which she leans against. The background is a uniform dark gray or black, contrasting with the figure.
