A woman in a white satin dress and veil holds a bouquet of flowers, by an ornate table
The painting depicts a three-quarter length portrait of a woman against a dark, plain background. She has light skin, rosy cheeks, and light-colored hair, which is partially covered by a sheer, striped white veil that she holds up with her right hand. Her eyes are light, and her lips are a soft pink. She wears a white satin dress with long sleeves, gathered at the waist by a wide sash that ties in the front, adorned with two gold-tasseled ends. A thin gold trim outlines the neckline of her dress. On her left wrist, a simple gold bracelet is visible. Her left hand, positioned lower and to the left, holds a small bouquet of flowers, including pink roses, white blossoms, and blue thistle-like flowers with green leaves. She stands next to an ornate, gilded table or console, partially visible on the lower left, topped with a draped piece of reddish-brown fabric.
