Visual Summary

Brief Description

Woman with golden halo, red garment, and dark cloak, hands joined, eyes cast down

Detailed Description

This vertical painting depicts a woman from the chest up, positioned slightly to the left of the center against a dark, indistinct background. Her head is tilted downwards and to her right, with her eyes cast low, almost closed. She has fair skin and reddish-brown hair, partially covered by a translucent white veil that drapes over her head and shoulders. A faint golden halo encircles her head. Her hands are held together in front of her chest, fingers intertwined, with the knuckles visible. She wears a long-sleeved red garment, visible at her neck and arms, beneath a dark green or blue cloak. The cloak is draped over her shoulders and arms, with a patterned, possibly embroidered, dark fabric visible on the inside of the upper arm area. On the far left, a hint of another figure or object in warm brown and orange tones is visible, including what appears to be a wooden cross held upright. On the far right, a vertical architectural element in muted brown and gold tones is partially visible. The background behind the figure is a dark, solid brown.
