The image shows a painted depiction of a religious figure, Saint Mary. She is in a frontal pose with a halo around her head. Her facial features are detailed, with a serene expression and an aureole framing her face. She is wearing richly painted garments, including an elaborately decorated dress and a blue-green mantle. The background resembles a textured curtain or drapery in shades of rust and red. The painting is mounted on paper with some handwritten notes beneath the depiction. The background beyond the painting is plain, emphasizing the central religious subject.
