Profile portrait of a woman with dark hair, elaborate jewelry, and a sheer veil on a dark background
A vertical portrait painting depicts a woman in profile, facing left, against a dark, unadorned background. The woman occupies the central and right portion of the canvas. Her skin is light-toned. She has long, dark hair that falls down her back, with a few dark curls visible near her ear and temple. Her eye is dark and almond-shaped, with a prominent brow and a long, dark line extending from the outer corner. Her nose is long and straight, and her lips are small and reddish. She wears multiple pieces of jewelry. Her right ear features a large, light-colored pearl earring with a green teardrop-shaped pendant. Her left ear, partially obscured by her hair, also has a similar pearl earring. Her nose is adorned with a small red stud and a larger white pearl ring. A small red dot is visible on her forehead. Around her neck are several strands of white pearls, and beneath them, a wide, intricate gold-colored necklace with a rectangular pendant. She wears a light-colored garment, possibly a tunic, and a sheer, reddish-brown veil draped over her head and shoulders, edged with a thin gold band. Her right hand is raised to chest level, with fingers slightly curled, and she wears a ring on her ring finger. Her fingernails are painted red. The background is a solid, dark blue-grey color.
