The woman in the image is pictured from the waist up, turned slightly to the side while facing the viewer. She is applying powder to her upper chest using a powder puff and a nearby mirror on a table. She has a gentle expression with defined facial features and styled hair topped with a ribbon or bow. Her attire includes an elaborate gown with off-the-shoulder puffed sleeves, emphasizing her waist, and accessorized with lace and frills. She wears a choker necklace and holds the powder puff in her right hand. The table is cluttered with grooming items such as bottles and a covered container. The background shows draped fabric and a floral detailed chair. The scene is enclosed within a decorative circular frame against a plain backdrop.
