The painting presents a woman seated, bathed in a soft, diffused light that seems to emanate from an unseen source. Her gaze is direct, arresting, and slightly melancholic, drawing the viewer into a moment of quiet contemplation. The artist masterfully employs light and shadow to sculpt her form, emphasizing the delicate curves of her body and the gentle folds of the draped fabric. The color palette is muted, favoring soft greens and warm flesh tones against a pale, undefined background. The overall effect is one of classical beauty, imbued with a sense of introspection and serenity.
