The image shows a woman standing. She is slightly to the right, looking downward with her face in profile. The woman has a soft complexion, indistinct facial features, and her hair is tucked under a wide-brimmed hat. She is wearing a long dress with muted pastel colors and long sleeves, along with dark shoes that seem greenish. The background is plain.
