She wears a black headscarf and a black hat. Her face is pale with dark eyebrows and lips. The woman stands with her feet bare and her weight on one leg. Behind the woman is a tree branch with sparse leaves. The background of the painting is brown with a beige border featuring a floral pattern. The border has a thin gold line at the top and bottom.
