National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper portion of a woman's body. She is facing forward with her head slightly turned to the left. The woman has distinct facial features with almond-shaped eyes and a calm expression. Her curly hair flows down her shoulders, and she wears a headband or covering. She is dressed in period clothing with an open square neckline adorned with a brooch. She wears a pearl necklace and earrings. The background is plain to emphasize the woman's detailed portrait.
