This painting shows an upper body portrait of a woman with her body slightly turned to the right and her head facing us. She has light-colored skin, rosy cheeks, green eyes, and pink lips set in a neutral expression. Her curly gray hair is tied with a light pink ribbon. She wears a dark dress with a low neckline lined with lace and a pink bow at the center, and a light orange-pink sash around her waist. Behind her is a dark red curtain on the left, and a blue sky on the right, covered in brown and gray clouds. The portrait is enclosed in an oval which is set against a dark brown background.
