This watercolor portrait represents the head, partial chest, and gathered hair of a woman. She looks directly at the viewer and is wearing an elaborate green hat with a large black bow. Part of her chest is represented in watercolor. Her clothing is not detailed, but the extension of the black bow and her hair gathered in a ponytail extend where the front of her body would be located.
