A woman wearing a black and white nun's habit sits on a chair, knitting. The woman's habit consists of a black cape with a white collar, a white hood lining, and a long blue dress. She sits on a chair facing right, with her head slightly bowed, focused on her work. In her hands, she holds knitting needles and yarn. A ball of yarn rests on the floor beside her. To her right is a dark brown table with turned legs, holding a wicker basket with a red item and a closed book. The background features a dark green wall and a brown door frame. The floor appears to be made of brown wood or terracotta. The painting is signed "F. Bonvin 1862" in the bottom-left corner.
