The image shows a woman standing outdoors, looking back over her left shoulder. She wears a gown with stripes and bows, a hat with feathers, and holds a handbag in her left hand. The background features a stone balustrade, a lush garden with dense foliage, and tall trees under a clear sky with few clouds.
