Visual Summary

Brief Description

A seated woman in dark robes with clasped hands against a gold background with trees and rocks

Detailed Description

A vertical rectangular painting depicts a single woman seated in the foreground, facing slightly right with her head tilted down. She wears a dark, possibly black or very dark green, hooded cloak that covers her entire body, revealing only her pale face and clasped hands. A reddish-pink garment is visible beneath the cloak around her chest. A white head covering is visible under the dark hood, and a faint halo encircles her head. The background directly behind her head and upper body is a textured gold, featuring a faint circular pattern and gothic architectural elements along the top edge. Behind her lower body, a landscape unfolds with dark green, leafy trees on the left and light brown or pinkish-brown rocky formations on the right. The ground in the immediate foreground is a light, off-white color, adorned with small, stylized plant forms or flowers.
