The image shows a woman seated in a side profile view. She is sitting on a chair or low bench, focused on her hands holding fabric. Her face is in profile, with neatly styled hair, possibly covered with a cap. She wears a long dress and is surrounded by a small, detailed interior with soft light coming from a window. Potted plants are visible on the windowsill, and a woven basket hangs on the wall behind her. A table or furniture is partially visible to the right.
