The image shows a person seated with knees bent and legs crossed, partially reclined, with a serene expression. The person's hair is held back by a headpiece, draped in fabric that reveals the chest and shoulders. They hold a serpent that coils around their arms. In the background, heavy drapery curtains are parted open, with fabric falling behind and around the figure. The background is dark, contrasting with the highlighted figure in the foreground.
