The image is an engraving showing the upper body of a seated woman positioned facing forward with a three-quarter view. Her facial features include large, round eyes, a broad nose, and a solemn expression. Her hair is curly and styled around her face, partially covered by a veil or headdress. She is dressed in dark, elaborate clothing with rich texture and detailing, featuring a high-collared lace undergarment visible at the neck. She wears an ornate brooch on her chest and holds a handkerchief with one hand while resting the other hand on a wooden chair arm. The background consists of a textured curtain on the left side and plain shading on the right, implying an indoor setting.
