A woman in Parisian evening dress. Her hat is white with a red stripe around the brim and around the middle. White feathers with red tips decorate the top of the hat.

The dress has an empire waist and there are four, wide red stripes encircling the bottom of the skirt. The ruffles of her petticoat are visible below the hem of the dress. She wears white, flat slippers with ribbons that tie up her ankle. She wears elbow-length white gloves and holds a fan in her right hand and a handkerchief in her left.
