The image shows a woman in a full-length profile view, standing upright and facing to her right. She has a composed expression, delicate facial features, and a large, elaborate headpiece. She is wearing a dark form-fitting outfit with a striped underskirt, a fabric around her neck, and hands in a muff. Her shoes have pointed toes. The background is plain with a border at the bottom, and the text below labels the image as "Mulier Argentinensis."
