The image shows a portrait of a woman from the waist up. She has an oval face with delicate features and her eyes are directed forward. Her hair is styled in neat curls that cascade down the sides of her face. She is wearing an elegant gown with an ornate bodice adorned with a brooch and a pearl necklace around her neck. Her earrings are long and teardrop-shaped. The portrait is set within a geometric frame with a textured background, and below the portrait is an ornate coat of arms. The text at the bottom of the image describes her as Lady Katherine Harington, wife to Sir James Harington.
