Brief Description

Black and white portrait of a woman in elaborate period attire and jewelry, hands clasped

Detailed Description

This black and white, waist-up portrait depicts a woman facing forward with her head slightly turned to the left, her gaze directed slightly leftward. She has a fair complexion, a small mouth, and a straight nose. Her dark hair is partially visible beneath an ornate headpiece, possibly a coif or French hood, which features a band of jewels across the forehead and a veil-like fabric at the back. She wears a dark, long-sleeved gown with a wide, square neckline. A white garment is visible beneath the neckline, which is trimmed with a patterned band. At her throat, a choker-style necklace features a central circular pendant with three small drops. A longer, double-strand chain necklace holds an oval cameo pendant depicting a profile bust. Her hands are clasped at the center of her waist, holding a small, light-colored, possibly leaf-shaped object. A ring is visible on her left ring finger. Her sleeves are wide and bell-shaped, adorned with decorative white puffs or slashes tied with cords near the wrists, over a patterned fabric. The background features a vertical architectural element or column on the left and a large, draped fabric on the right.
