The image shows a woman standing from the waist up, facing slightly to the left. She has a serene expression, with her head slightly inclined, looking down at an object she is holding. Her hair is covered by a white veil or headscarf. She is wearing a dark outer garment over lighter clothing, and appears to be holding a balance or scales in her right hand, weighing small objects, possibly pearls. The table in front of her is covered with a patterned cloth and there is a shallow bowl to the left of her hand. In the background, a large painting is partially visible on the wall and sunlight streams in from a window on the left.
