The image is an engraving of a woman in a portrait, shown from the shoulders up within an oval frame. The woman has a calm expression, detailed eyes, a slightly downturned mouth, and a prominent nose. She wears a high-collared dress with lace trim and a lace-edged cap. Above the frame is an angelic figure with wings and curly hair, resting hands on top of the frame, looking downwards. Decorative elements above include clouds, books, and musical instruments. The background features trees and a distant landscape. The lower part of the image contains ornate text detailing the dedication of the artwork.
