Portrait of O'Keeffe sitting on a cushion, on the ground, painting with watercolors next to a corner of the house; bent knees pulled up to her chest, wearing a long knit cardigan sweater, white apron or dress, and high-top laced black leather shoes, her head is slightly tilted to viewer left with an upwards gaze, she holds a pencil in one hand and the other is wrapped around her knee; a watercolor tray with paints and paper, a glass of dirty water, foliage in foreground.
