Portrait of a woman facing slightly away from the viewer. Her right side-profile is largely visible showing an unsmiling and serious, though calm, expression. The woman’s eyebrows, eyes, and hair are a dark brown, offset by her pale skin and blush-stained cheeks. Clothed in a
black dress with a large black bow in her hair, the woman somewhat blends into the background of the painting which is similarly dark. A gold tie or chain hangs from her neck, though hardly visible.
