The portrait shows the upper half of a woman, focused on her face and attire. She is facing forward with a direct gaze. Her facial features are a rounded face, prominent chin, full lips, and large, dark eyes. Her curly hair is styled under a headcovering, with curls framing her face. She wears an intricate outfit with a lace-trimmed collar and ornate fabric. A wide, decorative collar with lace edges rests on her shoulders. Accessories include earrings and a necklace. The background has fleur-de-lis patterns, a coat of arms on the left, and a chain emblem on the right.
