A young woman sits in three-quarter view, her head gently tilted and her gaze directed outward with strikingly light blue eyes. Her hair is tucked beneath a wide-brimmed black hat that casts a shadow across her forehead, accentuating the elongated oval of her face. The sitter’s skin is rendered in warm ochres and soft pinks, contrasted by the deep, dark tones of her hat and dress.

A necklace of pale blue beads circles her neck, catching the light and echoing the cool blue of her eyes. Her lips are pursed and painted in a muted brown, while her nose and jawline are sharply defined by bold, dark outlines. Behind her, the background is divided into flat planes of color: a brownish wall to the left, a dark band behind her head, and a pale yellow section intersected by a vertical strip of blue at the right edge.

The brushwork is visible throughout, with textured, layered strokes particularly noticeable in the background and in the modeling of the flesh. The composition is tightly framed, focusing attention on the sitter’s upper body and face, with the angular lines of her form standing out against the more abstracted backdrop. The sitter’s left hand, outlined in black, rests on the arm of a chair at the lower left corner, with elongated fingers splayed across a patch of ochre.

The background at the upper right is intersected by a vertical pale blue stripe that separates a yellow plane from a black one. The light falls most strongly on the left side of the woman’s face and neck, creating a subtle highlight along her jaw and collarbone. The edges of the hat blend softly into the dark background, while the brim is sharply defined against the lighter wall.

The paint surface is visibly textured, particularly in the brownish-green area at the upper left, where the brushstrokes create a rough, almost patchwork effect. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, integrated into the composition.
