National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in a turned position facing the right. She has a calm expression and a delicately styled updo with a headdress or veil. She wears a ruffled choker and an elaborate gown with puffed sleeves and a wide sash. She is holding a broom and is near a harpsichord with open music sheets. There is a large ornate chair and a column in the background. The setting appears to be a grand interior with soft shadows.
