She faces the left side of the frame with her head slightly tilted back, showing her facial features including a prominent nose and well-defined lips. She has curly hair styled close to the scalp and adorned with a turban-like headwrap decorated with pearls. Beatrice wears a flowing gown with intricate detailing on the shoulders and neckline. The background is a simple oval shape with a textured pattern surrounding the detailed portrayal of Beatrice.
