Portrait of a standing woman, cropped at the bottom of the canvas at knee level. She stands in three-quarter profile to her proper right and holds in both hands at head level a clear glass goldfish bowl. The bowl is of a bulbous goblet shape with foot, stem, and flared rim, containing water and two multicolored fish. The woman wears a rose-colored bodice top over a brown skirt with white "apron" front. A round-buckled strap hangs from the waist around the proper left hip and down off-canvas.
