She is posed indoors, likely in a café or establishment reminiscent of early 20th-century Paris. The lighting is warm and diffuse, suggesting a late afternoon or evening setting. She is dressed in a low-cut black dress with intricate lace detailing around the neckline and shoulders, suggesting a sense of sophistication and allure.

The background is rendered in a painterly style, characterized by visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing light and atmosphere. We see other figures partially visible, suggesting a bustling café scene, but they are blurred and secondary to the primary subject. A prominent clock with roman numerals is visible in the top left corner of the frame, adding to the historical and Parisian ambiance. Tables are set with glassware and partially visible patrons, creating a sense of depth and a vibrant social setting. The artist skillfully uses a palette of warm, muted tones, with browns, creams, and ochres dominating the scene, creating a cozy and intimate mood.
