The image shows a portrait of a woman from the waist up, in a seated position. She has a stern expression with defined, sharp facial features and tightly curled hair styled into an elaborate updo with a decorative crown-like headpiece. Her outfit is highly detailed and regal, featuring an ornate ruffled collar around her neck, intricate patterns and embellishments on the bodice and sleeves of her dress. She is holding a sceptre in one hand and a book in the other. The background is plain, and in the top left corner, there is an emblem or coat of arms. Below the image is a section with text in what appears to be French.
