She has long black hair; a gold hair ornament; and her face is tilted down. To her right is a decorative black vanity with a gold flower design on the mirror; on her left a large brown pot with a utensil sitting inside. A small red kettle sits on the floor behind the pot. A large floral wreath hangs on the wall behind her; the wall has a beige background.
