Painting of a woman with curly hair, white cap, and white shawl against a dark background
A chest-up portrait painting depicts a woman with light skin, turned slightly to her left, looking forward with a neutral expression. Her light brown, curly hair frames her face, and she wears a white cap with a ruffled or lace-like edge. A voluminous white shawl is draped over her shoulders and chest, crossing in front of her. Beneath the shawl, a dark blue or purple dress is visible, and a delicate, light-colored necklace adorns her throat. The bottom edge of the painting shows a hint of a light brown, possibly fur, trim. The background is a plain, dark, muted color, likely dark green or brown, which contrasts with the illuminated figure. Strong lighting from the upper left highlights her face and the folds of the white fabric.
