Brief Description

Bust-length portrait of a woman in a black dress, wide hat, gold chain, and rings

Detailed Description

A bust-length portrait depicts a woman with pale skin, light eyes, closed lips, and a steady gaze, facing slightly to the left against a plain, dark green background. Her dark hair is pulled back, with a small section visible on the right side of her neck. She wears a wide, flat black hat that extends beyond her shoulders, adorned with two small gold, curved ornaments on each side. A high, stiff white collar folds over a black dress, which features long sleeves. Around her neck is a heavy gold chain composed of large, interlocking links. A circular gold pendant with a white, possibly pearl, center is suspended from the chain's center, with three small white pearls hanging below it. Her hands are clasped at the bottom center of the frame, resting over her midsection. She wears multiple gold rings on her fingers, including a prominent stacked ring on her left ring finger and a single band on her right ring finger. The cuffs of her black sleeves are decorated with several small gold buttons or ornaments, and a gold buckle-like ornament is visible on her left sleeve.
