This painting shows a person standing in profile, facing the left. They have long, dark hair that almost entirely obscures their face. They have pale skin and they are wearing an ornate, colorful garment in shades of orange, red, cream, and gray, which has a long skirt that trails behind them. They also have a decorative headpiece on their head, similar to a small cream-colored bonnet. The person holds a round mirror or fan in their left hand and stands next to a wooden couch with a patterned back in shades of yellow, red, blue, and gray, with red cushions. The background is a textured blue-gray wall.
