A young woman in a dark red dress and pearls, holding a fan, against a dark background
A half-length portrait depicts a young woman with fair skin and light brown, wavy hair, looking directly forward with a slight smile. Her hair is parted in the middle and pulled back from her forehead, with some strands falling over her shoulders. She wears a multi-strand pearl necklace and pearl drop earrings. Her attire consists of a dark red, possibly velvet, dress with wide sleeves and a broad collar. Underneath, a gold-colored garment with a textured pattern is visible, along with a darker, possibly embroidered, band around her waist. Her left hand, adorned with multiple pearl bracelets and a ring on her ring finger, rests near her waist. Her right hand holds a dark, pleated fan, resting on a wooden chair or stand to her left. The background is a plain, dark greenish-brown, with the light source illuminating her face and hands, creating a contrast with the darker areas of the painting.
