The image shows an upper body portrait in profile of a person facing right. The individual is positioned sideways, with the head turned slightly towards the viewer's side. The person has tall, voluminous coiffures adorned with what appears to be ribbons or decorative elements within the hair. The face shows classical features with a calm and serene expression. The attire is elaborate, with decorative lace or elaborate fabric around the neckline and shoulders. Surrounding the portrait is an ornate circular frame decorated with leafy motifs, possibly laurel leaves. Below the portrait, there is a decorative panel with scripted text, an artist’s palette, and brushes. The background of the image is filled with fine, detailed crosshatching.
