The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a woman seated next to a wooden table. She is positioned facing slightly to the right, with her arm resting on the table and holding a small pink rose in her left hand. Her facial features include a calm expression, rosy cheeks, and visible brown eyes under dark, curly hair that frames her face, partly obscured by a white lace cap with decorative fabric elements. She is wearing a white, high-waisted gown with long sleeves with lace trim and delicate embroidery details. On the table, there is a small white vase with similar pink roses, adding a decorative element. The background consists of a deep green drapery.
