The image shows a portrait of a woman from the waist up. She is facing slightly to the left but looks directly at the viewer. She has solemn facial features with defined cheekbones and jawline, wavy hair under a formal headdress, and is dressed in elaborate noble clothing with fur accents. She holds a rolled document in her right hand. The background features an ornate frame with Latin inscriptions and a coat of arms.
