The image shows a painted representation of a person standing upright in a full frontal position. The person is raising one hand towards a tall plant or flower and has their other hand on their hip. They wear a green hat with a feather, a red jacket, yellow vest, green breeches, and knee-high blue socks or stockings. The person has a neutral facial expression and stands against a dark oval-shaped background with a decorative floral motif border. Below this, there is a rectangular section with a similar floral pattern in red, green, and cream colors. The outer background is a plain, light beige canvas.
