The image shows a woman standing in an upright position. She has dark hair covered by a lace veil and a floral headdress. She wears a white wedding gown with lace detailing and a long train, holding a bouquet of flowers. She wears white heels with decorative embellishments and a string of pearls on her neck. The backdrop appears to be a painted scene with foliage and architectural elements, creating the impression of an outdoor setting. The photograph is sepia-toned.
