The image shows a woman from the waist up, seated in a forward-facing position. She has a long, angular face with high cheekbones and fine, arched eyebrows. Her hair is styled with curls framing her face and a decorative headdress. She wears an ornate dress with a wide, lace-embellished collar and intricate patterns on the sleeves and front. She holds a fan in her right hand and a piece of fabric in her left, with a string of pearls around her neck. The background features a scenic landscape with rolling hills, trees, and distant buildings.
