The setting, The scene is set in a dark room. The female figure occupies the center and right portion of the image, standing next to an architectural opening. The window, On the left side, the frame of a large, dark wooden window divided into panes of glass stands out. Daylight comes entirely from outside through these panes, cutting across the room. The furnishing fabrics, A heavy, dark red or burgundy curtain falls vertically just behind the window frame, partially framing the figure. The background, The right portion of the background is completely dominated by a deep, monochromatic black, devoid of detail, which engulfs the room and isolates the figure. The posture, A brunette woman is portrayed in three-quarters, standing, facing the window. Her body is slightly turned toward the viewer, but her face looks outward in profile through the panes. The face, Her face is illuminated by the grazing light from the window. Her eyes are open and directed downward to the left, her full lips are pursed, and her dark hair is gathered at the nape of her neck, with a few loose strands framing her cheek and neck. Hands and arms, the right arm is bent upward, the right hand is raised to chest height, with the fingers flexed and relaxed, pointing inward. The left arm hangs down along her body, and the left hand clutches a piece of fabric at her hips. Clothing, the woman is wearing black underwear consisting only of panties, partially visible on her left hip. A light black robe or nightgown has slipped off her shoulders, catching at the elbows and exposing the upper part of her torso. Chiaroscuro contrast, the cold, diffuse light from the window hits only the left side of the woman's body, (the profile of her face, neck, shoulders, right hand, and abdomen), creating a stark contrast with the dense, warm shadows that envelop the rest of the figure and the background.
