A contemporary, small oil painting of a white woman, sitting on a wooden chair and looking straight out to the viewer. The lady has chocolate-brown coloured hair which is styled in a bob that curls under just above her shoulders. She has green eyes and rosy-pink cheeks that are well-rounded, most likely because her red lips, although closed, tilt upwards at the sides to show that she is smiling. She is wearing a silver necklace that sits below her collar bone and catches some of the light, which is complimented by a silver brooch on the left side of her jacket. She also wears a matching skirt, and her left hand is placed on her left leg which is folded over the right. Her sleeve cuff is folded back to reveal a square-shaped watch and a ring on her engagement finger. Behind her right arm that hangs by her side, white orchids in a glass vase are placed on a flat surface on which a light-coloured cloth is draped. The background is painted in a pastel purple and mauve colour, and the artist has chosen to paint in thick brushstrokes, adding texture to the image.
