This expressionist portrait depicts a woman in a three-quarter view against a bright, textured yellow background. She wears a wide-brimmed, dark-toned hat adorned with thick, abstract dabs of orange, red, and blue paint that suggest floral decorations. Her gaze is directed toward the viewer with a calm, introspective expression, her face rendered in unusual shades of green and violet that contrast with her dark hair.
The figure is draped in a simple, white top layered under a prominent, long magenta scarf that falls vertically, creating strong lines that anchor her in the composition. The artist uses thick, visible brushstrokes and bold, dark outlines around the figure to emphasize the shapes and colors, giving the portrait a flat yet dynamic quality.
The overall mood is intimate and unconventional, typical of early 20th-century expressionist style. The light is diffused, appearing to emanate from the yellow background rather than a single source, which keeps the focus entirely on the subject's face and vibrant accessories. A signature is visible in the bottom right corner, partially obscured by the frame's edge. The execution is painterly and suggestive, prioritizing expressive color and form over realistic representation.
