Detailed Description
A full-length depiction shows a woman standing centrally against a dark green paneled background. Her fair-skinned face is framed by a high, reddish-brown hairstyle adorned with pearls and a central jeweled ornament. She has light-colored eyes, thin eyebrows, a small nose, and a small mouth. A high, stiff, translucent white lace collar, possibly a ruff, encircles her neck, above a multi-strand pearl necklace with a central pendant. She wears an elaborate, light-colored gown. The fitted bodice and long sleeves are intricately embroidered with vertical lines of silver and gold thread, interspersed with small floral and foliage patterns. A dark, possibly jeweled, chain or sash crosses diagonally from her right shoulder to her left hip. Her sleeves end in ruffled cuffs. The very full, bell-shaped skirt, extending to the floor, is made of a light, possibly silver or cream-colored fabric. It is densely embroidered with a pattern of green vines, yellow leaves, and small red and orange berries or flowers. A central vertical panel on the skirt features more concentrated silver and gold embroidery. Her right hand holds a small, rectangular, decorated object at waist level, while her left hand hangs loosely at her side. The tips of light-colored shoes are visible beneath the skirt's hem, resting on a narrow strip of a red and orange patterned rug.
