The painting shows a woman in antique clothing in profile, standing in front of a landscape with sky and clouds. She is dressed in a long, flowing, red dress and her hair is combed back except for a few hairs falling on her forehead. The woman has a swarthy complexion, gazes into the distance, and has her hand resting on her hip. The work appears calm and absorbed in her own thoughts.

Versatile English Classicist artist and baron Frederick Leighton (1830 - 1896) attended several art schools in England and France. In his artistic journey, he was aided by meetings in Paris with the painter Ingres, Delacroix, Corot, and Millet. When he returned to London in 1860, he joined the group of artists called the Pre-Raphaelites, whose founding member was Sir John Everett Millias. Leighton’s paintings represented Britain at the Paris Exhibition in 1900. Among his works were portraits, book illustrations and ancient scenes - Jonathan and David. For his life’s work and contribution to the British art scene, Leighton won a peerage. He could enjoy it for only one day, because the day after, he died.
