The image shows a full-body portrait of a woman labeled as "Marchants-wife of Holland." She stands upright with her body facing forward and her gaze slightly to her left. Her facial features include a neutral expression with pronounced eyes, a slightly upturned nose, and closed lips. She has a high forehead with tightly pulled back hair. She wears a detailed dress with a large ruffled collar, intricately designed sleeves, fitted bodice with buttons, and a long skirt. One hand holds a decorated purse or small bag, while the other rests at her waist. The background is plain, focusing attention on the woman's clothing and posture. The engraving is detailed, with inscriptions in Latin and English providing context to her identity and origin.
