The image shows a portrait of a woman. She is facing forward, displaying her head, shoulders, and upper torso. Her expression is serious, with large, focused eyes. Her hair is styled away from her face, possibly tied back or under a cap, with curls resting on her neck. She is wearing a historical costume with a dress featuring a tied crisscross pattern at the bodice, a lace collar, and a bow at the neck. An ornate border surrounds the portrait with the text "ANNA MARIA A SCHURMAN" around the oval frame. The background is shaded, contrasting with the lighter tones of the woman's attire and face.

The image depicts a person standing upright. The individual is turned slightly to the right, looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. They have medium-length, wavy hair, delicate features, and are dressed in elaborate attire with intricate details. They wear a bracelet on their right wrist and hold a circular pendant in their right hand. In the background, there is a heavy drapery to the right and a window to the left showing a structure outside. A small table beneath the window holds an open book and scattered papers.
