Portrait of a woman wearing a ruffled lace bonnet, dark dress, and a striped scarf
A head and shoulders portrait depicts a woman against a dark, muted green-brown background. Her light-skinned face is turned slightly to the viewer's right, with her gaze directed forward. She has dark eyes, dark eyebrows, and full lips. Dark, curly hair frames her face, visible beneath an elaborate white lace bonnet. The bonnet features multiple layers of delicate ruffles that extend around her head and chin. A white ruffled collar encircles her neck. She wears a dark, possibly brown or black, dress with voluminous, puffed sleeves. A striped scarf, featuring bands of red, orange, black, and cream, is draped over her shoulders and chest. A thin gold chain hangs down the front of her dress, partially obscured by the scarf. The lighting highlights her face and the white elements of her attire, creating a contrast with the darker background and dress.
