Visual Summary

Brief Description

A half-length portrait of a woman with a tall hairstyle, wearing a blue and white dress with a fur-trimmed cloak.

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait of a woman is presented within an oval frame, set against a dark, plain background. The woman is positioned slightly to the right of the center, with her head turned to her left, and her gaze directed towards the left side of the canvas. She has fair skin, light-colored eyes, and small, slightly parted red lips. Her dark brown hair is styled in a very tall, voluminous fashion, with a few strands of pearls or beads woven into the top. Ringlets of hair fall over her shoulders. She wears an elaborate dress. The bodice is a light, creamy white, appearing to be made of draped or pleated fabric, with a delicate white lace trim visible at the neckline. A prominent brooch is pinned to the center of her chest, featuring a red, possibly ruby, stone surrounded by smaller white stones, with a single white pearl dangling below. Over her shoulders, she wears a light blue cloak or shawl, trimmed with white fur that has dark spots, suggesting ermine. A blue sash or belt, adorned with gold embroidery, is visible around her waist, just below her hands which are not fully visible. The overall impression is one of formal attire from the late 18th century.
