The image shows a woman in profile from about the waist up. She is sitting, facing to the right, with her body slightly turned towards the viewer, sitting in a relaxed, upright position. Her facial features are delicate and serene, and she has a prominent nose. Her hair is styled with flowers and ribbons, cascading down in curls. She is wearing a dress with patterns and layers, featuring puffed sleeves and a high lace collar. A bouquet of flowers is held in her gloved hands in her lap. She is accessorized with a necklace and dangling earrings. The background is plain.
