The image shows a woman seated at a small wooden table in a side profile, with her hands clasped and resting on the table. She has fair skin, an updo hairstyle, and wears a dress with long sleeves, decorative buttons, bows, and a cinched waist. The dress has dark and light tones, with a full skirt. She also wears a wide-brimmed hat with a large red decoration. The background is reddish with a green band at the bottom, and a shadow of the woman is visible.
