The image shows a half-length portrait of a woman depicted from the waist up. She is positioned in a three-quarter view, looking towards the viewer with her head turned slightly over her shoulder. Her facial features are delicately illustrated, with a composed expression, and she has curly hair adorned with flowers on one side. She is wearing an elegant gown with flowing, draped fabric. Around her neck is a simple pearl necklace. In her hand, she is holding a bouquet of flowers. The background is plain, with a textured pattern. Below the image, there is a text inscription naming her as "Margverite Lemon Angloise," alongside a poem or text in French.
