Detailed Description
A bust-length portrait painting depicts a woman with light skin and brown hair against a dark, plain background. She is positioned slightly to the left of center, looking towards the right side of the frame. Her hair is styled high on her head, with light-colored, possibly gold, leaf-like decorations intertwined within it. Her face features rosy cheeks, light-colored eyes, a small nose, and a closed mouth. She wears a cream or off-white loose outer garment with wide sleeves, draped to reveal a light pink or peach-colored corset underneath. The corset has visible vertical lacing down the front. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, resting on a dark, indistinct surface at the bottom of the frame. Light illuminates her from the left, highlighting her face, chest, and hands.
