The image shows a person seated on a chair. The person is in a relaxed position, with the upper body slightly turned to the side and the head tilting upwards. The facial features are delicately drawn, with the eyes looking upward and the lips closed. The hair is styled in tight curls that frame the face. The individual is dressed in a flowing, intricately patterned gown with long sleeves, holding a small sheaf of wheat in one hand, while the other hand rests on the side of the chair. The person is also wearing a necklace with a circular pendant. The background features a column to the left and some vegetation at the base of the chair. The ground texture appears uneven.
