Detailed Description
A young woman is seated in an interior, facing forward with her body slightly angled to the right and her head turned towards the viewer. Her hair is styled upwards and appears powdered, adorned with a small, light-colored ornament. She has a pale complexion, and her lips are slightly upturned at the corners. She wears an elaborate gown with a fitted bodice, featuring white lace trim around the neckline and cuffs. A light blue sash or ribbon crosses her chest, secured with a small brooch. The wide skirt of her dress has alternating vertical stripes of gold or tan and a light blue-grey, both patterned with small, delicate floral motifs in pink and green. Her left hand rests on a dark, ornate wooden table with curved, decorative legs, holding a small, rectangular, open locket or miniature case. Her right hand holds a white, closed fan, resting on her lap. To the left, behind the table, a rich, dark red drapery hangs. The background includes light brown architectural elements, such as a column and a wall. To the right, a portion of an ornate gold chair with a red upholstered seat and back is visible. The floor is covered by a patterned rug in shades of dark blue, red, and brown. A red cushion with gold trim is visible in the lower left foreground.
