This painting depicts a woman in a formal gown, with her body facing left and her head turned to the right. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a long, pink dress with a black skirt and a pink glove on her right arm. The dress features a floral pattern on the bodice.
The woman's pose suggests that she is dancing or moving, and her facial expression is not clearly visible. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's dark hair and clothing.
