The image depicts a portrait of a woman showing her from the waist upwards. She is positioned facing forward with her head slightly turned to her left. Her facial features include a slightly rounded face, prominent eyes, a small mouth, and an elegantly styled high forehead. Her hair is swept back and styled in an intricate, up-do fashion surrounded by an embellished headpiece. She is wearing a richly ornated gown with an elaborate lace collar that fans out dramatically around her neck. A visible adornment of pearls decorates her bodice, and she is wearing pearl earrings. The background consists of a circular border with Latin inscriptions surrounding the portrait and a patterned texture filling the area around her head. The section below the border contains a block of text.
