The image depicts a woman from the waist up, seated with her hands clasped. She is facing the camera straight on. She has a somber expression with slightly downturned lips and a gaze directed at the viewer. Her hair is parted in the middle and falls in long, loose waves down past her shoulders. She is wearing a long-sleeved, plaid-patterned dress with a high neckline, and her clothing fits modestly. Her hands are resting in her lap, and she is not holding any objects. The background is plain with a textured curtain providing a backdrop.
