The image shows an upper body portrait of a woman seated in a composed position facing forward. Her facial features are finely detailed, with a smooth complexion and an expressionless gaze. She has curly hair that falls to her shoulders and is partially covered by a transparent veil. She is wearing an elegant garment consisting of a lace collar and a richly textured bodice. Around her neck, there is a distinct necklace. The border of the portrait contains text, implying a frame-like design, while the background behind the woman is a shaded texture.
