The image shows a woman seated, captured from the waist up. She is positioned in profile, facing towards the right of the image. Her facial features are delicate with a serene expression and she has intricate, curly hair adorned with flowers or blossoms, extending down her back. The woman's attire is elaborate, featuring a dress with multiple layers of fabric and lace, complete with detailed ruffles and puffed sleeves, and decorated with buttons. She holds a bouquet of flowers in her lap and wears large teardrop earrings and a necklace with a central pendant. Her hands are distinguished by lace gloves, with one hand visible near the bouquet. The background is plain and unadorned.
