She wears a long, dark skirt and a shawl with fringed edges draped over her shoulders, the shawl displaying broad, contrasting stripes. Her face is turned slightly toward the viewer with a neutral expression, short hair framing her forehead. Behind her, a body of water reflects vertical streaks of light and shadow, and the opposite bank features buildings with lit windows and street lamps that cast bright points of light. Trees line the distant shore, and the overall scene is rendered with fine, dense lines and crosshatching.
