The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The portrait depicts a woman with fair skin and brown, curly hair pulled up into a bun on top of her head. She wears a white, sleeveless dress with a high neckline and a dark-colored shawl draped over her left shoulder. A pearl necklace is visible around her neck. The woman's body is positioned to the left, but she faces forward, looking slightly to her right. The background of the painting features a mottled, beige color with darker shades towards the bottom. The image is framed by a thin, beige border.
