The image shows a seated woman from the waist up, with her head turned slightly to her right. She has a serene expression with age lines on her face, and a subtle smile. She wears a bonnet with ruffles, an elegant cloak with fur, and a draped fabric. The portrait is encased in an oval frame with a crown at the top. Below the frame are ornate details including a trumpet, cross, crown on an open book with legible text, and decorative swirls. The background is shaded with stylized pillars or walls.
