The lady stands half turned, one foot set back. Her raised right hand holds a red rose on a short stem while the left keeps the shawl that slides from her shoulder almost to the hem. A waistcoat painted with large gold and red blooms sits over the long-sleeved white blouse. The grey skirt narrows towards the ground and finishes in a white flounce with fine tracery. A small dark hat is set on her waved hair.
