The image shows an upper half portrait of a person portrayed in an engraving. The person is positioned slightly turned to the viewer's left, looking directly at the viewer. They have a soft, round face with a serene expression, curly hair framing their face, and a piece secured at the back with a ribbon. They wear a garment with textured fabric draped over their shoulders, and a string of pearls around their neck. Their hands are clasped gracefully at chest level. The portrait is set within an intricately designed frame with a geometric pattern in the background.
