This painting depicts a woman’s head and upper body in a reclining position. She is facing the left, her torso leaning forward and her head tilted upward. Her legs and hands are not visible. The woman has minimalistic facial features, beige skin, and long brown hair, and she wears a maroon-colored garment. Surrounding her are small green dots and tiny orange floral elements. The background is plain white paper.
