The image is a portrait in profile of a young woman's upper torso. She is standing sideways, facing right. Her facial features are delicate, with defined eyes, a straight nose, and subtle lips. Her hair is short and curly. She is wearing a light-colored dress with a wide, dark ribbon tied into a bow at the neckline and a strand of pearls around her neck as a necklace. The background is a textured, monochrome circular backdrop. Beneath the portrait, the name "Mlle Louisa Duponceau" is inscribed in a handwritten style on the matte border.
