The image shows a full-length profile view of a woman standing and facing to the right. She is posed with her hands resting in front of her, holding the edge of her garment. Her facial features are drawn with fine lines, and she has a composed expression. Her hair is styled in a high, rounded manner, possibly with a decorative element at the back of her head. She is dressed in a traditional gown with a high pleated collar, puffed sleeves, and a patterned apron tied around the waist of her long skirt. The figure does not appear to be wearing jewelry or holding any objects. The background is plain.
