The painter presents a fragment of a seated woman with her torso covered by a shawl.
In a frontal position, the model's head is not shown, but her body features indicate she is a young woman.
The figure is seated on fabrics in shades of crimson. She stands out against a warm gray background. The woman crosses her arms in an intimate gesture, as if drawing herself inward. This conveys a sense of warmth, yet she may feel uneasy about being observed by someone.
