Anna Ignátyevna Malvíntseva makes a formidable first impression: tall, imposing, and stern beneath a striking blue headdress. Her narrowed eyes suggest a woman who misses little and is not easily softened by appearances.

Anna Ignátyevna Malvíntseva appears as a stern, imposing old lady, immediately distinguished by her height, great stoutness, and blue headdress. The novel offers no extended personal arc, but her scrutinizing expression gives her brief presence a clear authority.
Description
Anna Ignátyevna Malvíntseva is an old, tall, very stout woman. A blue headdress is her most distinctive feature, set against an otherwise unspecified outfit. Her expression is stern, and she screws up her eyes in a look that feels sharply appraising; the text gives no further detail about her coloring or facial features.
