The image shows an engraving of a woman depicted from the waist up. She is positioned slightly turned to her left, with her hands resting on a table where flowers are laid. Her facial features include a delicate face with a calm expression and her hair is styled in an elaborate manner with curls framing her face. She is wearing a dress with intricate detailing, including lace and decorative elements, and a necklace adorns her neck. In the background, there is a window with a peacock visible outside. The elaborate border surrounding the portrait is filled with swirling designs and scriptwork, providing a formal and intricate frame to the central oval image.
