The image shows a profile portrait of a woman with detailed facial features, including a prominent nose, full lips, and defined jawline. She has styled her hair in tight curls and wears a large bonnet with a feather on top. She is dressed in a sleeveless, high-waisted garment with ruching detail at the bust, and wears a bead or pearl necklace. The background is plain, and there is a handwritten inscription at the bottom with the name "Mlle de St. Memin."
