The image is a portrait of a young woman, painted in a realistic style. She is wearing a white bonnet with a ruffled collar and a brown dress with a white shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is styled in loose curls and falls over her shoulder. She has a serious expression on her face and her eyes are looking off to the side. The background is a dark grey color, and the overall mood of the painting is somber and contemplative. The painting is done in a loose, loose style, with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors.
