The image features a woman in full profile from head to toe, standing and facing right. Her head is turned slightly forward, showing her side profile. She has a delicately defined face with styled hair pulled back and adorned with curls, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a plume. She is dressed in an elaborate gown with textured and patterned fabric, a high lace collar, fitted sleeves, and intricate embroidery, holding a fan. The background is plain.
