The image shows a woman seated on a cloth with an elegant posture, partially turned away from the viewer. She is adjusting her hair with one hand, which is adorned with a crown of flowers. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she has soft, subtle facial features that are lightly sketched. The background features tall, slender trees with a warm pinkish hue, and the ground is tinged with hues of soft yellow and green.
