Seated woman in a light dress with a long-haired dog beside her, against a dark background
A vertical painting depicts a seated woman with a large, long-haired dog. The woman, positioned slightly right of center, faces forward with her head turned slightly to her right. She has dark hair styled in an updo with loose curls framing her face and fair skin. She wears a light, possibly cream or white, off-the-shoulder gown adorned with yellow floral motifs on the bodice and red-orange floral patterns on the full skirt. A long, delicate necklace with small red beads hangs around her neck. Her left arm rests gently on the dog's back, while her right hand is positioned in her lap, holding an indistinct object. To the woman's left, a large, fluffy dog sits upright, facing right with its head turned slightly away from the viewer. The dog has a mix of brown, white, and black fur, with a prominent white ruff and chest. Its head is approximately at the level of the woman's waist. The background is dark and muted, featuring a lighter, yellowish-brown area behind the woman's left side, possibly a chair or draped fabric. The right side of the background is a darker blue-green, with hints of furniture or architectural details. The floor beneath them is a dark, indistinct color. Visible brushstrokes are present, creating a soft, somewhat impressionistic quality.
