Summary: 

A handsome mixed race woman walks from left to right and slightly towards the spectator. Her hair is a halo of carefully arranged curls. She wears a high-waisted, trailing dress, defining her limbs, with a shoulder-scarf, bare arms and neck, and much jewellery. On the wall (right) half of a picture of 'Havanna' is visible.
