Profile portrait of a woman with blonde hair, pearl-studded cap, and red dress against a dark background
A vertical rectangular painting depicts a woman in profile, facing left, against a solid dark blue background. Her skin is light, with a high forehead, a small, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. Her light brown eye is visible. Her blonde hair is pulled back and covered by an elaborate white cap or net, which is densely studded with small, round, white pearls or beads. On top of her head, a small, ornate jewel with tiny blue and red elements is visible. Around her neck, she wears a necklace composed of small, round, white pearls or beads, each set in a gold-colored bezel, forming a continuous chain. She is dressed in a red garment with a wide, light-colored collar or trim that extends over her shoulders. Beneath the red garment, a dark green or black undergarment is visible. The red fabric shows subtle patterns and variations in tone. A dark brown painted border frames the composition.
