The image shows a person seated waist-up in a poised position. They have a calm expression with fine facial features. The person's long hair cascades down their back and shoulder. They are wearing a wide-brimmed hat with large feathers and a gown with floral patterns on the sleeves and bodice. The person's hand rests on the chair arm. In the background, there is a softly shaded wall with a glass jug on a surface to the right.
