Detailed Description
The painting is a vertical rectangular composition featuring a woman in profile on the left, set against a detailed background. The woman, positioned in the center-left, faces left, showing her fair-skinned profile. Her reddish-brown hair is elaborately styled into a large, wrapped bun at the back of her head. She wears a dark, thin choker around her neck, a white undergarment visible at her chest, and a dark green dress with a richly patterned, possibly brocade, sleeve on her right arm. A small gold pendant hangs from a thin chain around her neck. To her left, a brick wall forms a structural element, featuring a dark, rectangular window opening. Above this window, a light brown stone entablature is carved with the Latin inscription "RAO SVPERSTES". Below the window, a shield-shaped coat of arms is affixed to the wall, displaying a white field with a diagonal red band, topped by a small crown. At the bottom left corner, a pale hand gently holds a golden orb. The right side of the painting opens into a detailed landscape under a light blue sky with scattered white clouds. In the middle ground, a body of water, possibly a lake or sea, is visible with several small boats and a distant city on its far shore. Rolling, light brown hills and scattered trees frame the water. In the foreground of the landscape, a small figure of a woman in a long, light-colored dress stands near a brown horse. Further back, a small figure in a boat navigates a narrow waterway.
