The image depicts a woman standing with her body slightly turned to the side. She has short dark hair, glasses, and is wearing a light-colored long-sleeved top tucked into high-waisted, striped trousers. She is holding a sack labeled "Best." In the background, there is a floral wallpaper on the left wall and a plain wall on the right with a painting or relief of a person on horseback. A piece of dark wooden furniture is seen against the patterned wall.
