A stylized woman is shown in a pensive pose, her face and elongated hands drawn with thin contours and a few soft highlights on the nose and cheeks. An oversized, flat, wide-brimmed hat forms a strong horizontal line across the composition, answered by the diagonals of her arms and the V-neck of a loose yellow and cream striped garment.

Thick, visible brushstrokes build a tactile, layered impasto surface with a matte finish. The plane is flat and graphic, lit by soft, even light, and the mood is contemplative and quietly melancholy in a mid-century modernist manner.
