The image shows a woman standing in a three-quarter pose, facing slightly to her left. She has a calm expression on her face, with features like a small nose and arched eyebrow. Her hair is wavy and extends past her shoulders, partially covered by a headpiece with a pom-pom. She wears a long dress with vertical stripes, a shawl-like garment, and holds a fur muff. Shoes are visible beneath her dress. The background is plain with script at the top and bottom.
