Visual Summary

Brief Description

Woman in white cap, large ruff, and dark embroidered dress, in a painted oval frame

Detailed Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait depicts an older woman facing slightly right, her gaze directed forward. Her face is pale with visible wrinkles on her forehead and around her eyes. She wears a white, pleated cap that covers her hair and frames her face, extending slightly below her chin. A large, stiff, white pleated ruff encircles her neck, resting on her shoulders. Her dark, possibly black, dress features puffed sleeves and a bodice intricately embroidered with gold and dark patterns. Her right hand, adorned with a ring on the fourth finger, rests gently on her chest, with fingers slightly spread. The figure is set against a plain, muted greenish-brown background, all enclosed within a painted reddish-brown oval frame. The letters "FL" are visible in the lower left of the oval, and the numbers "1626" are visible in the lower right. The outer edges of the canvas are a darker reddish-brown.
