The image depicts a portrait of a regal woman from the waist up. She has curly, shoulder-length hair and a calm expression, with distinctive eyebrows and partially closed lips. The woman is wearing a richly detailed garment with a lace collar and a fur-trimmed cape draped over her shoulders, adorned with pearls and embroidery. She wears a small crown on her head, indicating her royal status, and holds a fan in one hand. The background features an ornate frame with various elements, including a crown and floral motifs above her head, symbols in circular panels on either side, and additional ornamental objects such as a helmet, a sword, and branches. The lower edge of the frame includes an inscription referring to her as a queen.
