National Gallery of Art

This image shows a portrait of a woman, depicted from the waist up. She is positioned to face forward, with her head turned slightly to her left. Her facial features include an oval face with arched eyebrows, large eyes, and a small, closed mouth. She has long, curly hair that falls around her shoulders. Her attire consists of a dark, richly textured gown with a wide, rounded neckline and voluminous sleeves. Around her neck is a necklace made of pearls. The portrait is ornately framed with elaborate, decorative elements like leaves and scrolls. Behind her, there is a cherub with wings, shown leaning over the top of the frame, draped in fabric. The background is filled with horizontal lines. The bottom of the image contains inscriptions in an elegant script.
