The image displays an upper-body portrayal of a woman facing forward. She has a long, straight nose, full lips, and a slight chin cleft. Her hair is styled high and wide with small pearls, and she wears a decorative piece on her forehead. She is dressed in a heavily decorated garment with an intricate high collar and a pattern resembling flowers or stars. She adorns her neck with a long string of pearls with larger floral motifs interspersed, forming a Y-shaped drape over her chest. The background consists of finely detailed vertical lines.
