A woman in a dark dress and white collar stands by a red velvet armchair on a dark background
A full-length portrait depicts a woman standing slightly to the right of a red armchair, against a plain, dark background. The woman has a pale complexion, with her dark hair pulled back and covered by a small dark cap. She wears a voluminous, dark-colored dress with wide, light gray or white collar and matching cuffs. Her right hand hangs at her side, while her left hand rests on the back of the armchair. She wears gold-colored rings on several fingers and a gold-colored bracelet on her right wrist. To her left, the armchair features deep red velvet upholstery on its back, seat, and armrests, accented with light-colored trim along its edges. The chair's wooden frame and legs are dark. The background is a muted, dark olive-green or brown, appearing slightly lighter towards the bottom of the canvas.
