The image shows a woman sitting on an outdoor wooden bench in profile. She is leaning forward slightly with her chin resting on her hand. She has long, wavy hair tied back and is wearing large round glasses, a long-sleeved blouse, and a patterned skirt. On the bench next to her is a potted plant, and in the foreground is a small dog lying in the grass. A large piece of fabric is hung out to dry nearby. The background features a wooden slat fence with foliage creating dappled shadows.
