The image depicts a seated woman in a relaxed pose, captured from the top of her head to just below her knees. The woman has a round face with small eyes, a straight nose, and neat hair pulled back. She is wearing a sleeveless dress with a draped neckline and shading to suggest folds. The woman's arms are positioned on the back of a chair and her lap. The background is plain, and the artwork is signed "N. Vassilieva, 1928" in the bottom right corner.
