The image shows a woman in a full-length portrait. She has a pale complexion, arched eyebrows, a small mouth, and dark eyes. She wears a cap, a red and gold dress with white lace detailing, and floral patterns. Her shoes are visible beneath the dress, and she wears a pearl necklace. She holds a dark object in one hand and has the other hand on her waist. The background is dark with flowers on the left and a pattern of roses on the right.
