This painting depicts a young woman from the chest upwards, seated in a slightly turned position to the left. She has pale skin, reddish-brown hair styled back in a low bun, green eyes, and small pink lips that are slightly turned up at the ends. She is wearing a patterned garment with a plaid design in pink, light blue, and brown, featuring white trim around the neckline, along with some small black buttons. The background is a mottled gray with shades of light yellow and pale blue. The painting is signed "Corot" and dated "1859" in the bottom left corner.
