The image shows a woman standing, with her left hand on a pedestal and her right arm at her waist. She has an oval face, defined brows, and a small mouth. She is wearing a dress with lace cuffs, floral embroidery, and pearls. Her hair is styled in waves, and she holds an object in her left hand. Next to her on the pedestal is a small animal. The background is dark with vertical lines suggesting a curtain.
