The image is of a person standing and facing slightly to the left. They have dark, wavy hair styled with a small floral headpiece. They wear a long, intricately decorated gown with beads and embellishments, made of a light, translucent fabric with a draped design, a fitted bodice, and long sleeves. They also wear a long lace veil extending down to the floor. The background is plain and off-white.
