National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated, facing the viewer. Her body is turned slightly to the right while her head is turned towards the viewer. She has curly hair framing her forehead, pulled back in an elegant style. She wears an off-the-shoulder dress with floral elements, accessorized with pearls. The woman's arms are resting on a surface, one hand holding a bouquet of flowers. The background is a plain, textured surface.
