The image shows a woman from the back, with her torso and upper legs visible. She stands in a relaxed position, turned slightly to her right. Her hair is dark and styled in a loose bun, with a small ribbon or bow visible at the top of her head. She is wearing a light-colored flowing garment that drapes over her shoulders. The woman is holding a hand mirror in her left hand. The scene is set in a bedroom with soft furnishings, including a bed with pillows, a draped curtain, a chair or cushion with patterned fabric, a mantelpiece with an ornate figure, and golden slippers on the floor.
