National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman from the waist up. She is facing slightly to her right, with her face turned toward the viewer in a three-quarter view. The woman has finely detailed facial features and soft, curly hair styled with a floral or lace hairpiece. She is wearing an ornate garment with intricate patterns and lacework, as well as jewelry in the form of a pearl necklace and matching earrings. The background is decorated with floral and foliage motifs, framing the woman and accentuating her regal and elegant appearance.
