The image displays a bust portrait of a woman in profile. The portrait exhibits her head and upper shoulders, showcasing her hairstyle with tight curls and a headband tied in a bow. Her facial features are delicately drawn. She wears a garment with an embellished collar and embroidery near the neckline. The background is a simple circular dark grey, and her name, "Mrs. Bell," is handwritten below the circular frame on a beige panel.
