Brief Description

A woman in a black hat and patterned dress pours coffee from a silver urn

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a woman standing indoors, positioned to the right of a wooden table, next to a large window. She is shown in profile, facing right, with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. She wears a black hat with a wide brim and a yellow ribbon, a black choker, a black ruffled shawl, and a long-sleeved dress with a white background and a small floral pattern in green and red. Her right hand, covered by a sheer, patterned glove, holds the handle of a silver coffee urn, from which she appears to be pouring liquid into a small cup on a silver tray. The silver tray, with ornate feet, holds several small white cups with gold rims and a blue and white sugar bowl. A silver teapot and creamer are also on the tray. The table, made of dark wood, extends from the lower left to the center, with a dark wooden chair visible in the lower left corner. Behind the woman, a large window with horizontal wooden blinds on the upper half reveals an outdoor scene. Through the window, a wide river is visible, with several boats, including a prominent sailboat with reddish-brown sails on the right. Buildings line the far bank of the river under a light sky. A vertical wooden slat screen is visible in the lower part of the window on the left. On the far right, outside the window, a stack of books appears to be floating or stacked against a wall.
