The portrait is set on a red and pink background, without decoration, door or window, which suggests the corner of a cafe. The androgynous looking woman sits cross-legged at a round table. She wears a red and black plaid dress with a high neck, and holds a cigarette in her right hand. The fingers are long with slightly protruding bones, and the jaw is triangular with a pointed chin. A long, clean nose separates the eyes surrounded by dark circles. She wears a monocle on the right eye. Her brown hair is very short, a typical bobbed haircut of the 1920s. The mouth, slightly ajar, highlighted with dark red lipstick, stands out against her pale skin.
