The image shows a full-body side profile of a woman with long curly hair standing upright. She is wearing a dark dress with long sleeves, a light-colored collar, and an apron draped over her attire. She has gloved hands held together in front of her, and a chain with a small spherical object hanging at her waist. The background is plain, with the words "Marchants: daughter" above her, and "Mercatoris Londinensis Filia" below her.
