She wears a small crown on her head, indicating her royal status, and holds a fan in one hand. The background features an ornate frame with various elements, including a crown and floral motifs above her head, symbols in circular panels on either side, and additional ornamental objects such as a helmet, a sword, and branches. The lower edge of the frame includes an inscription referring to her as a queen.
