A young woman stares straight out of the canvas from under the brim of a dark military-style cap, a single star stitched into the crown. The brim casts a band of shadow across her brow, while the rest of her face glows in soft cream, rose, and flushed pink. Her olive-green eyes are rimmed with smudged liner and lit by two tiny, bright catchlights, and her mouth is a pouting, rust-red line that gives the whole expression its attitude.

The face is built from thick, buttery strokes, especially across the forehead and nose, where the paint stands up off the surface. Around it, the cap, the bow around the neck, and the murky background are handled loosely, with a few streaks of bare canvas at the bottom edge.
