Her body faces to the left while she turns her head to look back. Her long hair cascades down the length of her back, nearly hitting her upper thigh. With both hands she wrings a part of her hair in front of her. Water pours from the ends. Her wrists bear gold cuffs with pearls. Her left arm has a gold armlet. Her body is naked underneath a white translucent robe with gold trim at the bottom. She wears strands of pearls and gold beads around her neck and a necklace with a gold pendant. The top of her ear has a red ornament and she wears pearl earrings. Her nose is decorated with a small pearl nose ring. Her feet are bare and she wears gold anklets. She stands in a green landscape. Softly curving, willow-tree-like branches accentuate the top and right side of the depiction.
