The image depicts a woman from the waist up. She is positioned slightly to the side as if she is seated and looking over her shoulder. Her hair is styled in a short, neatly combed manner that frames her face. She is dressed in a formal garment, possibly a dress, with her shoulders exposed. In her hands, she holds a large, ornate fan that partially covers the lower half of her face and chest. The background features a curved railing, indicative of an interior setting, possibly a theater or an opera house, with indistinct hints of people or decorations in the upper section.
