The lady by the fireplace is portrayed in a standing position, in a rich dark purple dress with flowers at the waist. In the background, the interior of Jovanović's studio in Vienna is faithfully painted – a part of the fireplace, showcase, a mirror and a replica of an ancient sculpture from the 19th century. The young woman resembles Jovanović's wife Hermina Dauber Jovanović Mouni, who was his favorite model. In a large number of portraits, Mouni is presented as a lady from high society, dressed in sumptuous dresses, while posing in the representative salon space of the painter's Viennese studio.
