The image depicts a woman with an upright posture, facing slightly to her left. She has a smooth complexion, arched eyebrows, and a composed expression. Her hair is styled with jeweled pins, and she wears an elaborate ruff around her neck. Her clothing is richly decorated with designs, pearls, and a brooch. An earring is visible on her right ear. The background is plain with an oval frame, and there is a nameplate at the bottom identifying her as Elizabeth, Queen of England and Ireland.
