A statuesque figure is presented in a color field of cool-gray. Her back is to us, with her face and a hint of her chest visible. In her hand is a thick metal chain, secured with one finger through a link. The metal wraps around her thigh before continuing up the meridian her backside. Passing behind her chestnut hair, the chain extends to an unseen support above.
She wears ribbed black stockings to above her knee. The garments show signs of wear, showing a hint of translucence in places.
She looks over her shoulder, as if admiring her reflection. Her expression is one of coy confidence. Despite the stricture of the chain, her expression and posture make clear she is in command of her circumstances.
The overall mood is lighthearted mixed with a provocative coltishness. Ambiguous shadows on the floor lend a surreal aspect. A darkened upper corner helps the central placement of the figure appear more energetic.
