She is seated on a low stool which is draped in white fabric, there are bottles of perfume and other such items on the dressing table, to the left there is a long, violet curtain covered with darker purple decorative patterning in a floral motif. The floor is brown with white walls, and there is a unidentifyable object in the right corner of the painting cut off by the painting's edge, possibly depicting an item of clothing.
