The image shows a portrait of a woman seated with her upper body and part of her lower body visible. She is sitting in a three-quarter view with her head slightly turned towards the viewer. The woman has refined facial features, curly hair falling to her shoulders, and is wearing a luxurious gown with ruffled details. She holds a bouquet of flowers in her left hand. In the background, there is a carved architectural column on the left and a draped curtain on the right. Additionally, sculptural figures of cherubs are visible beside her.
