The painting depicts a sparsely furnished room bathed in soft light. A woman, dressed in a simple dress, stands at a window with her back to the viewer. The window, taking up a significant portion of the canvas, is partially open, revealing a glimpse of the outside world. In the distance, barely visible through a hazy atmosphere, are the masts of ships on a body of water. The woman's posture suggests contemplation as she gazes out the window, leaving the viewer to wonder about her thoughts and emotions.
