The image shows a woman in a statuesque pose. She is standing with one arm on her hip and the other arm raised with a finger extended upward. The woman has detailed facial features with a defined nose and a serious expression. Her hair is styled back with a headpiece or band. She is wearing a flowing dress that gathers at her waist. There are architectural elements around her, including a column and an arched window framing a crescent moon in the sky. In the background, a castle with towers is visible. At her feet, there is a decorative mask-like carving. Two figures are partially visible behind her.
