She is holding her right hand up to her forehead, wearing a white glove that matches her hat. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and she has a distinctive curled lock of hair above her forehead. The woman is dressed in a light green coat with a V-neck opening, and she accessorizes with pearl earrings. The background is softly blurred, comprised of dark and muted colors.
