The image shows a person outdoors standing on a patch of ground surrounded by foliage and trees, facing to the right. The person is holding a closed fan in one hand and has facial features including a small nose. Their hair is styled in an 18th-century fashion with volume at the top and curls down the back. The person is wearing a long gown with puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice, and bows. Shrubs and bushes surround the person, with a tree and clouds in the background. The landscape is depicted with fine lines to frame the figure against the natural backdrop.
