A woman in an elaborate dress and pearls holds a small white dog with a blue ribbon
A half-length portrait of a woman holding a small white dog, set against a plain, light gray-blue background. The woman is positioned slightly to the left, with her head turned to face the viewer. Her light brown hair is styled elaborately, piled high on her head with curls framing her face, and adorned with multiple strands of pearls. Her complexion is fair with rosy cheeks, and she has dark eyes and small, reddish lips. She wears a multi-strand pearl necklace around her neck. Her elaborate gown features a wide, ruffled white collar that stands up behind her head and shoulders. The dress itself is richly textured with ruffles and folds, displaying a palette of pinks, purples, yellows, and blues. A prominent blue ribbon or sash drapes across her chest and down her left arm, where she holds the dog. A large, ornate brooch with a central blue gem is visible on her chest. The small, fluffy white dog is held in her arms, facing left, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. It has small dark eyes and a pointed snout, and a blue ribbon is tied around its neck. A dark, vertical element, possibly a column or piece of furniture, is visible on the far left side of the background.
