Detailed Description
A full-length portrait depicts a person standing centrally within a golden arched frame. The individual has light skin, dark hair, and dark, almond-shaped eyes, with thin, arched eyebrows and small red lips. They wear a tall, black hat adorned with white and green embellishments. Their elaborate attire includes a long, teal-blue outer robe with wide sleeves, heavily decorated with patterns of white pearls and green jewels around the collar, shoulders, cuffs, and hem. A red and white striped garment is visible underneath, along with a wide red sash tied at the waist. A dagger with a white hilt is tucked into the sash on the left. A long, pearl-encrusted strap hangs from the right shoulder. The person wears red pointed shoes. In their gloved left hand, they hold a small, brown and white bird, which faces left. The background is a plain light blue, with a brown, geometrically patterned railing behind the person at waist level.
