She wears a red top with voluminous sleeves, and a light-colored skirt. Another figure with dark curly hair is seated on her left, wearing a purple and white top. On the right, a third figure is present wearing an elaborate feathered hat and a vibrant, multi-colored outfit. Stylized foliage and ground elements surround the figures against a plain, neutral background resembling fabric texture.
