The image is a portrait of a young girl's face, painted in a realistic style. The girl appears to be in her late twenties or early thirties, with shoulder-length curly hair that is styled in loose curls. She has a serious expression on her face, with her eyes looking off to the side and her lips slightly parted. She is wearing a white dress with a ruffled collar and a white shawl draped over her shoulders. The background is a muted 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 attention to detail.
