Graceful woman, her face shown in profile, turning her head to looking to the right. She has reddish-brown hair styled in an updo. She wears a striking, form-fitting black evening gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline and delicate, ornate golden straps over her shoulders. Her hand rests gently on a round, dark polished wooden table on her left. Her right hand holds the fabric of her skirt, slightly gathering it. The background is a simple, muted, warm brown color.
