The image shows a person standing in the foreground. The person is facing slightly to the side but looking directly at the viewer with a calm expression. They have straight hair that is partially covered by a large shawl draped over the head and shoulders. The individual is wearing a long, dark, textured gown that covers the body completely, with the arms crossed in front holding a folded fan. The background reveals a bustling scene with several other people, some wearing hats, appearing to be in conversation. The backdrop consists of indistinct outlines of trees, suggesting an outdoor setting, and there are small dogs at the feet of the central figure.
