Woman in a fur-lined coat and elaborate headwear, holding a small light-colored object
Detailed Description
A woman is depicted from the waist up against a dark, almost black background. She faces forward, with her head slightly turned to her left, and her gaze directed slightly to her right. Her skin is pale, and her facial features are delicate, with light-colored eyes and a small mouth. Her head is covered by a light, possibly white, cap that extends over her ears and forehead. Wrapped around this cap is a patterned, striped, and coiled yellow fabric, forming a prominent, rounded shape at the back of her head. Around her neck, she wears a heavy, ornate gold chain composed of rectangular links, each containing a red jewel. Below this, a large, circular gold pendant hangs, featuring a central green oval surrounded by a sunburst design and a small, dark figure at the bottom. She is dressed in a dark brown, fur-lined coat that covers her shoulders and torso. Her right arm (viewer's left) is bent, revealing a bright red sleeve, and her hand holds a small, light-colored object, possibly a folded piece of fabric or paper. Her left arm (viewer's right) is mostly obscured by a flowing, gold-colored fabric draped over it, patterned with dark green floral or leaf motifs. A red sleeve with a dark green cuff is also visible on this arm. Below the fur coat, a dark green skirt is visible on her left side (viewer's right), featuring a patterned gold border near the hem. The dark background shows several rectangular patches of a lighter, grayish-white material, particularly on the right side and lower left, indicating surface irregularities.
