The image shows a woman seated from the side, leaning on her left elbow on a ledge. Her right hand is on top of her left arm. Her head is slightly tilted to the left with a gentle expression, soft facial features, and wavy hair styled back with a headdress. She wears a gown with puffed sleeves and draping. In the background, there is a sculpted surface with a garland on the left and a peacock behind her on the right. The peacock's plume adds detail to the composition. The overall tone of the image is earthy and warm.
