Her neck and shoulders are bare, and an elegant dress with blue and gold decorations is partially visible. The painting technique is executed with great mastery, highlighting the attention to detail. The painting is signed on the right side with the inscription "A. Lemuire", the name of a French painter active around the mid-19th century.
