The image depicts a woman from the waist up. The woman has a high forehead, arched eyebrows, a straight nose, and a small mouth. Her curly hair is styled with pearls woven into it on one side. She is wearing a draped garment with a lace-trimmed neckline, a robe over her shoulders, a necklace, a brooch on her bodice, and her hands are holding the fabric of her robe. In the background, there is an architectural column, a draped curtain, and a seascape with a ship in the distance. Text at the bottom mentions D. Dorothea Narbona, Thomas Rawlins, and various titles and regions.
