The image depicts a portrait of a woman from the upper chest up. She is slightly turned to the side, with her head facing to her right. Her features are delicate and she has a gentle expression. She has a small nose and full lips. Her hair is styled in a mid-19th century fashion, with soft waves framing her face and pulled back into a low bun or twist at the back. She wears a simple, light-colored garment with a folded collar or v-neckline. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects in her possession. The background is a plain, light tone.
