The image depicts a person standing upright. The individual is turned slightly to the right, looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. They have medium-length, wavy hair, delicate features, and are dressed in elaborate attire with intricate details. They wear a bracelet on their right wrist and hold a circular pendant in their right hand. In the background, there is a heavy drapery to the right and a window to the left showing a structure outside. A small table beneath the window holds an open book and scattered papers.
