Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman with dark hair, white lace collar, pearls, and a fan, against a dark background

Detailed Description

A half-length depiction shows a woman against a plain, dark brown background. She is positioned slightly to the right of center, with her head turned to face forward, looking directly out. Her skin is pale, and her dark eyes are set beneath light brown eyebrows. Her long, wavy dark brown hair is parted in the center and pulled back from her forehead, with some strands falling over her shoulders. A thin, light-colored band, possibly adorned with small pearls, is visible in her hair above her forehead. She wears a multi-strand pearl necklace around her neck and pearl drop earrings. She wears a dark, possibly black, garment with wide, scalloped white lace cuffs. A prominent, large white lace collar with a scalloped edge covers her shoulders and chest. At the center of her chest, a decorative bow, appearing to be made of silver ribbon and green fabric, is pinned to her dress. Her hands are clasped together at her waist, resting over a dark, folded fan with visible wooden ribs. She wears multiple rings on her fingers and several strands of pearl bracelets on her left wrist. Lighting illuminates her face and the white elements of her clothing, creating a contrast with the dark background and her dark dress.
