In the centre of the image is a portrait of a caucasian female head, her face is looking downwards, her expression is melancholic. Her brown hair is framing her face and wisps of hair are being blown in the wind. Surrounding her head are petals of a large, white magnolia flower. Behind the flower are expressive brush marks of lilac, crimson red and teal that interact with the petals. The background of the painting is a textured, muted yellow. The painting is made of layers.
