The image shows an upper-body depiction of a seated woman looking to her right. She has an elaborate updo with flowers, delicate facial features, and a serene expression. She wears a flowing gown, revealing her shoulders and upper chest, holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand. Next to her is a childlike figure holding a torch. The background is an ethereal, cloud-like setting.
