A woman in a dark dress and lace mantilla with blue ribbons, holding a closed fan
A full-length portrait shows a woman seated slightly left of center against a muted, dark olive-green background. The woman has fair skin, dark eyes, and a small mouth with a slight, closed-lip smile, looking directly forward. Her dark, curly hair is voluminous and frames her face. She wears a black lace mantilla covering her head and shoulders, adorned with several loops of bright blue ribbon on top. Her dress is dark, possibly black or deep brown, with a low-cut white bodice visible beneath the mantilla. A light pink flower with green leaves is pinned to her left shoulder. Her long sleeves are white with lace cuffs. Her hands are clasped in her lap, holding a closed fan. A blue ring is visible on the ring finger of her left hand. The skirt of her dress is full and dark, extending to the bottom of the frame. To her right, the back and armrest of a gold-upholstered chair with a wooden frame are visible. The background is plain, with subtle variations in the dark green tone.
