A portrait depicts a female subject of South Asian descent in an indoor setting within Howrah, India. The subject is visible from the upper chest upward, featuring long, dark hair parted centrally and falling over her shoulders. A red bindi with a gold border is affixed to her forehead. Her gaze is directed downwards and to her left. She wears a chartreuse-colored traditional Indian garment, likely a salwar kameez, embellished with a repeating pattern of gold sequins or embroidery arranged in horizontal zig-zag lines. A plain, matching dupatta is draped around her neck. Large, multi-tiered jhumka-style earrings are worn on both ears. The visible left earring (viewer's right) is green and gold, adorned with white pearls and small golden bells (ghungroos), with chains extending backward from the ear. The background consists of a light-colored wall with a subtle textured pattern on the left side, and a section of a wooden panel or furniture to the right. A small, golden, boomerang-shaped decorative fixture is mounted on the upper right portion of the wooden surface.
