The artwork is a Cubist-style portrait of a woman seated in a chair, captured in a profile view with elements of a frontal perspective. She has dark, flowing hair and a yellow face with expressive, exaggerated features. One hand rests against her cheek, while the other sits poised on the arm of the chair. The composition focuses on the subject's intense gaze and the geometric distortion of her anatomy, typical of the modernist style.
She is positioned against a background of vertical and horizontal lines that suggest a minimalist interior space. The chair is stylized with bold, dark outlines and cross-braced legs. The space feels compressed, pushing the figure forward, with the linear patterns of the wall creating a sense of shallow depth behind her.
The colour palette is vibrant and highly saturated, relying on strong contrasts. Her face is a bright, warm yellow with touches of pink, while her clothing features deep blues, violets, and black. These vivid tones are outlined in heavy, dark brushstrokes that define the shapes and add emotional weight to the figure. The overall mood is serious and contemplative, with a sharp, angular aesthetic that highlights the expressive, fragmented nature of the modernist portrait.
