Three-quarter length portrait of the subject facing three-quarter left on what appears to be a red settee. Her dark hair is parted in the middle with curls down to her shoulders, and her brown eyes are looking directly at the viewer. White trims the collar and cuffs of her very dark dress, and her hands are folded in front of her waist with her left arm resting on the red upholstered side of her seat.
