The image depicts the upper half of a person in a gown. The person is slightly turned to the side with their head tilted upward and to the left. The facial features include a defined nose, lips, and eyes looking upward. The hair is styled in waves and tied back. The gown has puffed sleeves, folds at the elbows, a cinched waist, a sash tied at the waist, and golden accents around the neckline and ends of the sleeves. The person wears gold bracelets on each wrist and gold bands around the upper arms. The hand is placed over the chest, and the background is plain beige.
