Workshop of Master of the Cologne Arms

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in a flowing robe with intricate patterns and textures standing upright. They wear a crown with ornate designs and have long, wavy hair. The face is smooth and somewhat expressionless with delicate features. The person holds a palm frond in the left hand and a tower-like structure in the right hand. The background is intricately decorated with floral motifs, and the floor is patterned with geometric shapes.
