This print shows a woman standing upright, wearing an intricately designed dress with voluminous sleeves, pleated skirts, lacy cuffs, and a large, ruffled collar. Her face is partly obscured by a dark mask, but she seems to be smiling slightly. She has hair styled around her ears and adorned with a feather, and she wears earrings and a necklace. She holds a flower in one hand and has the other on her hip. In the background there are several groups of people walking on a wide street lined with buildings. The sky above is blank.
