The painting features a central figure of a woman captured in a mid-dance pose, characteristic of flamenco. She is seen from the side, looking back towards the viewer over her shoulder. Her expression is serious and composed. She wears an elaborate white dress featuring multiple cascading, ruffled tiers that create a sense of movement. Draped over her shoulders is a deep golden-brown, intricately woven shawl with long, decorative fringe that catches the light.
She is positioned to the left of a traditional rustic wooden chair with a simple spindle back. The setting is minimalist, dominated by a deep, dark, and shadow-filled background that makes the figure appear to emerge from the gloom. To the right of the woman, mounted on the wall, is a small, square, decorative panel featuring an intricate geometric Moorish-inspired latticework design.
The overall colour palette is warm and earthy, ranging from the bright, crisp white of the dress to rich browns, ochres, and deep blacks. The lighting is dramatic, likely emanating from a single side source, which highlights the texture of the lace and fringe on the shawl and the subtle curves of the woman's face. The artwork appears to be a classical oil-style painting with visible brushwork, emphasizing the elegance and traditional cultural spirit of the dance.
