A young woman in a voluminous grey and black dress with an elaborate hairstyle and red ribbons
A young woman is seated slightly right of center against a dark, unadorned background. Her body angles left, while her head turns to face the viewer directly. She has a pale complexion, dark eyes, and light brown hair styled in a wide, elaborate fashion, adorned with red ribbons and a large, light pink, feathery or lacy ornament on the right side of her head. Her expression is neutral. She wears a voluminous, long-sleeved dress in shades of grey and black, featuring intricate lace or embroidery details. The fitted bodice has a high, rounded neckline with a white collar and a gold-colored trim extending down the front and around the waist. Her sleeves are full and gathered, ending in dark cuffs. A large, dark, possibly jeweled embellishment is on her chest. Her left hand rests on the armrest of a red chair, showing a ring on her finger and a red ribbon on her wrist. Her right hand is partially visible, also with a bracelet. To the left, a large, deep red curtain hangs, contrasting with the dark background. The lower part of her skirt, with dark ruffles and white lace, fills the bottom of the canvas.
