Woman with voluminous curly hair, light skin, and a dark dress with ruffled white trim
An oval-shaped portrait depicts a woman from the chest up, set against a dark, indistinct background. Her head is turned slightly to her left, and her gaze is directed upwards and to the left, with a faint smile on her lips. She has fair skin, light blue eyes, and small, reddish lips. Her hair is a prominent feature, styled in a very large, voluminous mass of light brown or blonde curls that frame her face and extend high above her head and down over her shoulders. She wears a dark garment, possibly black, with a wide, ruffled white neckline that cascades over her shoulders. Below the white ruffles, a band of dark, intricate lace trim is visible. Her right hand, with slender fingers, rests gently on her chest, adorned with a simple gold ring on her ring finger. The background is a muted blend of dark browns and grays, with a slightly lighter, warmer tone appearing behind her right shoulder.
