The image shows a woman standing upright with her hands clasped at her waist. She has finely detailed facial features and dark, rounded hair styled with an elaborate headpiece adorned with a feather. She is wearing a detailed gown with a wide collar, wide sleeves, and an ornate bodice that extends down to her feet. The background of the image has a faint texture, with text labeling her as "a Spanish Gentle woman" and "Mulier Generosa Hispanica."
