The portrait depicts a woman with fair skin and brown hair styled in a high bun, adorned with curls framing her face. She wears a maroon-colored dress with puffed sleeves and a fur-trimmed shawl or stole draped over her shoulders. A gold-framed picture surrounds her portrait, which is mounted on a black background. A small metal leaf-shaped ornament with a ring at the top is attached above the frame. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a 19th-century fashion style. The frame is rectangular with a gold border. The background of the portrait itself appears to be a muted brown color. The overall presentation includes a black mat and a simple grey wall in the background.
