Profile portrait of a woman with a tall forehead, sheer veil, red cap, and patterned gown
A woman is depicted in a head-and-shoulders portrait, shown in profile, facing towards the left side of the frame. She has pale skin, a high, rounded forehead, and a prominent nose. Her lips are thin and closed, forming a slight, upward curve. Her visible ear is covered by a red cap adorned with a border of gold-colored studs or beads. A sheer, light blue veil drapes over her head, extending down her back and partially obscuring the red cap. The veil creates soft folds around her head and shoulders. Around her neck, a thin, dark necklace with a small, light-colored pendant is visible. She wears a brown gown with a wide, dark brown collar. A black band cinches her waist. The gown is intricately patterned with a repeating gold-colored design, visible on the sleeves and bodice, appearing to be textured fabric. The background is a solid, dark blue, with some visible brushstrokes and slight variations in color saturation. The light source appears to be from the upper left, illuminating her face and the details of her attire. The woman's gaze is directed slightly downward and forward.
