The young woman balances a laundry basket with her left leg, while looking at her midriff and in need of attending to her corset. When looking further at this painting, one can see presumably a male peering through the wood door at the young woman inspecting herself, as a feline wanders through the door that was left ajar.

This painting has a period gilded frame that has had additional gilding added since the painting was first created.
