Detailed Description
A full-length painting depicts a single figure standing in profile, facing right, against a plain, dark brown background. The figure's head is topped with a tall, cylindrical, dark brown hat with a textured surface. Below the hat, dark hair is pulled back, and a red ribbon is tied under the chin, framing a fair-skinned face with delicate features, dark eyebrows, and small red lips. The figure wears layered garments. The innermost visible layer is white with swirling gold patterns and a prominent circular motif on the left shoulder, featuring red and green elements. Over this, a dark blue or black outer garment is adorned with numerous white, star-like floral patterns. A multi-colored sash, displaying bands of orange, blue, red, and white, cinches the waist. Two swords or daggers are tucked into the back of the sash, with several white, fan-like elements fanning out upwards from behind the left shoulder. The figure's right hand holds another sword or dagger, pointing downwards. The feet are visible, appearing to wear light-colored sandals or be bare, with reddish soles.
