The artwork shows a woman from the waist up, positioned in profile facing the right side of the image. Her right hand is on a wooden beam and her left hand holds a chalice. She has distinct features, including a strong nose, almond-shaped eyes, full lips, long curly hair flowing over her shoulders, and an ornate jewel-adorned headdress. She wears an elaborate gown with puffy sleeves, fur-lined neckline, and accessories such as a chain necklace and beaded jewelry. The background is textured with a wooden structure, two feet, and an inscribed panel on the top left corner with the date "1528" and an artist's monogram.
