This is a classic painting depicting a standing figure in historical attire. The individual is dressed in a formal black skirt with a voluminous silhouette, cinched at the waist with a tied bow. The bodice has a contrasting appearance, possibly a dark vest-like garment layered over a white blouse with billowing sleeves and ruffled cuffs. The figure appears to be wearing a white cap on their head. They are posed next to a column, upon which rests a large decorative planter with a leafy green plant, set against a mottled brown background which gives a sense of depth and richness to the scene. The painter's signature and the year 1891 are visible in the top right corner of the canvas.

The image depicts a young woman in traditional 18th or 19th century clothing. She is wearing a black dress with a white collar and cuffs, and a white lace-trimmed apron. Her hair is styled in an updo and she is wearing a white lace cap. The woman is standing in front of a green ceramic vase on a wooden table or shelf. The overall scene has a warm, muted color palette with browns and greens dominating the background. The painting style suggests this is a portrait or genre scene from that historical period.
