Description: | Bust-length depiction of a young woman, with her head turned three-quarter to the right. She holds a strand of hair with one hand which she cuts with a tiny pair of silver scissors, a distant and melancholy expression on her face. She wears a dress of striped blue and russet coloured fabric with lace around the collar and at the cuffs, and a buttoned bodice. The background is dark and without detail. The frame is in a Pre-Raphaelite style, made of oak and softwood; probably original to the painting with oak reed moulding along the top edge and gilding.
Technique: oil on panel
medium: oil paint
