The image shows a seated woman from the knees up. She has one arm resting on an intricately carved armrest and the other arm on her lap. Her facial expression is gentle with a slight smile, and she has a prominent nose and full cheeks. Her hair is styled in soft curls and partially covered by a dark, lace-edged bonnet. She wears voluminous, luxurious clothing with lace trim at the cuffs, and a large draped shawl around her shoulders. The backdrop includes draped fabric, with a partially visible column with tassels on the right-hand side.
