The model is rendered in light greys, with multicolored highlights of green, red, and white. She is facing away from the viewer and leaning against a piece of furniture. One of her legs is bent with the flat of her foot visible. The furniture she leans on is bright orange, contrasting with the greens and ochres that compose the majority of the background. The brushstrokes are energetic and fluid.
