The image shows a woman seated, captured from her torso upwards, facing sideways with her body angled slightly to the right. Her features are softly rendered, and she has a delicate profile with a slightly turned-up nose. Her hair is styled in an updo, and possibly adorned with a hat or headpiece. She wears a long-sleeved garment that drapes around her with a substantial amount of fabric pooling on the ground. The attire suggests Victorian-era clothing with elaborate detailing such as fur cuffs. The chair she sits on has ornate, curved legs and a high back. In the background, there is a subtle artistic rendering resembling a decorative panel or wall hanging with a foliage or stylized nature motif. The image is in a monochromatic sepia tone.
