A woman in a light gray dress, large blue lace ruff, and several pearl necklaces
A waist-up portrait depicts a woman with fair skin and reddish-brown hair, looking slightly to the viewer's right. She wears a large, light blue ruff with white lace trim around her neck. Her light gray or silver dress features a subtle, repeating pattern of curved lines and shapes. A small, jeweled ornament adorns the top of her head, nestled in her hair. Around her neck are two necklaces: one a gold chain with red and white jewels, and another shorter, pearl and gold necklace with red accents. A very long strand of pearls is draped over her left arm and held in her right hand. On her right sleeve, a gold brooch with pearls and red jewels is visible. Her left hand holds a small, dark blue object with gold patterning, possibly a purse or book. The background is a plain, dark color. In the upper left corner, light-colored text reads: "Ellen Gethin, dau. of / Sir W. Maurice of Clennenau / Wife of John Owen, Esq. & of / Sir Francis Eure, She Died 1624."
