Beeldbeschrijving
The image depicts a woman seated from the waist up. She faces forward with her body slightly angled to her left. Her facial features include arched eyebrows, bright eyes, and a neutral expression. Her hair is styled with soft curls framing her face and is mostly hidden by a white headpiece with lace and fabric detailing. She wears a white dress with lacework on the neckline and sleeves, along with a white belt. A red shawl with a colorful border is draped over the chair, held by her right hand. The background is a solid dark color, emphasizing her as the main subject.
