A female figure with short hair in a patterned white dress on a neutral background with strong shadows holds a glass of red wine in her hands and looks sideways at the viewer. In this very photographic work her expression appears interrogative, doubtful, slightly irritated, or perhaps just waiting for an answer from whomever is in front of her.
