The image displays a full-body portrait of a young child in an ornate frame with draped fabric. The child has a round face, closed lips, and short hair under a decorative hat. They wear a luxurious outfit with a fur-trimmed coat, patterned sleeves, and a detailed dress. The child's hands rest on a cushion and a tassel-like object. The background features heavy, gathered fabric, with coats of arms at the top of the frame and an inscription at the bottom.
