Seated slightly to the left on a green chair, and turned nearly full-face to the observer; she is dressed in a white muslin gown with long sleeves, pale blue sash fastened at the waist by a bow; powdered hair on which is a pale blue cap. Her hands, joined listlessly together, are resting on her lap. A strong light from the left throws every detail of the face and dress into a very high relief; foliage background to the left, with a hilly landscape in the distance to the right.
