The image shows a portrait of a person from the waist up, seated and facing forward. The individual has delicate facial features, a composed expression, and elaborate hair held up with a decorative headpiece and feathers. They are dressed in ornate clothing with a ruffled collar, intricate sleeves, and jewelry, holding a small object and resting one hand on a table with a skull and drapery. The background is plain, framed within an oval border with the name "Damoiselle Franchoyse de Gmont" in a classic engraved style.
