The image shows an upper body portrait of a person in a forward-facing stance with their head slightly turned to the left. The individual has a composed expression with fine facial features and curly hair styled with an ornate crown embellished with pearls and jewels. They are dressed in an elaborate gown with intricate embroidery, a high lace ruffled collar, and voluminous sleeves with detailed patterns. The person holds a scepter in one hand and an orb in the other, and wears a bracelet on one wrist. The background is plain with decorative text and insignia around the portrait.
