She is barefoot. The woman is in profile, her body facing left and her head turned towards the viewer. Her right leg is bent, while her left leg appears straight. She leans forward at the waist with her face close to the water and her left arm extended. The background depicts a body of water with wavy lines suggesting movement. Darker lines in the upper portion represent the sky.
