The image depicts a woman standing and facing slightly to her right. She has a warm expression, with her eyes and lips partially visible. Her hair is covered with a light-colored headscarf. She is wearing a dark long-sleeved dress with a high collar and white lace or ruffled collar. The dress has a fitted bodice with buttons down the front, and lace or ruffles on the cuffs. She is holding a white teacup on a saucer in one hand, with a cloth napkin on her wrist. Beside her is an ornate side table. The background is plain with subtle detailing at the base and tiled flooring.
