The image depicts a woman in a seated position, from the hips upwards. She has a hand on her hip and another on the ground for support. She has a direct gaze, with accentuated eyes and full lips. Her hair is covered with a white head wrap, and she is wearing a striped swimsuit that fits closely. There are no visible accessories. The background has a textured pattern resembling foliage or a natural design with earthy tones. The surface she sits on appears to be smooth with linear patterns, possibly representing wood or decking near a pool.
