A woman with a halo and elaborate dress holds a green palm frond against a dark background
A vertical portrait depicts a woman from the chest up, positioned slightly to the right of center against a dark, plain background. She faces left but her gaze is directed towards the viewer. Her fair skin contrasts with her reddish-brown hair, which is parted in the middle with soft curls framing her face. A long braid or ponytail extends down her back, adorned with a light blue ribbon tied in two places. A jeweled headpiece, featuring small red and white stones, is worn over her hair, and a thin, golden halo floats above her head. Her eyes are light-colored, and her expression is neutral. She wears an elaborate dress with a rich gold bodice featuring intricate raised patterns and a large, dark, oval-shaped jewel at the center of her chest. The square neckline is trimmed with a band of small pearls and red stones. Her sleeves are dark green, puffed at the shoulders, revealing white, gathered undersleeves. A pearl necklace with a small red pendant hangs around her neck. Decorative clasps with red stones are visible on her shoulders. In her left hand, held upright, is a long, slender, dark green palm frond, with her fingers delicately wrapped around its stem. The background is uniformly dark brown or black, providing a stark contrast to the illuminated figure.
