Brief Description

Woman in a large white ruff and lace-trimmed cap, against a dark background

Detailed Description

This head and shoulders portrait depicts a woman, positioned slightly off-center and facing slightly to the viewer's left, with her gaze directed forward. Her pale face shows a closed mouth and light-colored eyes, with muted pink lips. Fine lines are visible around her eyes and mouth. Her hair is pulled back and covered by a white cap. She wears a prominent, multi-layered white ruff around her neck, intricately pleated and standing stiffly. A small, delicate white lace collar is visible at her neckline, just above the ruff. The white cap on her head has a scalloped, lace-trimmed edge that frames her face and covers her ears. Her garment is a dark, possibly black, long-sleeved dress or coat, with subtle folds and texture visible in the fabric, particularly on her shoulders and upper arms. Light appears to come from the upper left, highlighting her face and the crisp white of her ruff and cap, creating soft shadows on the right side of her face and neck. The background is a uniform, dark, unadorned surface, providing a stark contrast to the woman's pale skin and white attire.
