The image shows a seated person picking or handling grapes from a basket in front of them. The person is looking over their left shoulder towards the viewer. They have delicate facial features with soft, rounded cheeks and an attentive gaze. The person's hair is styled in an updo with a few curls hanging down. They are wearing a loose-fitting blouse with sleeves gathered at the elbows, typical of an 18th-century style. A pair of scissors is on the table, and a piece of cloth is beneath the basket of grapes. In the background, there is an oval frame adorned with intricate botanical designs, including a garland of flowers and leaves, as well as classical motifs at the bottom of the frame.
