The image is a painting of a woman standing on a wooden deck overlooking the ocean. She is wearing a long black dress with a white bonnet and a white shawl draped over her shoulders. The woman is holding a large white parasol in her right hand and a cane in her left hand. She has a serious expression on her face and is looking directly at the viewer. The background shows a wooden railing and the ocean with waves crashing onto the shore. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the painting is peaceful and serene.
