The image shows a woman sitting on a chair with her head in her hands, her expression thoughtful and contemplative. She is wearing a white dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders and her hair is pulled back in a bun. Her hands are clasped together in front of her and her gaze is directed away from the viewer, as if she is deep in thought. The background is a muted grey, giving the painting a somber and melancholic atmosphere.
