The image shows a woman within an oval frame. She holds an artist's palette and paintbrushes in her left hand. She has an elongated face, expressive eyes, and curly hair, partially covered by a hat. She wears an elegant gown with flowing sleeves and ornate earrings. Surrounding her are rolled papers and a bouquet of flowers. The background is a cloudy sky.
