The image shows a woman seated from the waist up, angled slightly to the left. She has fair skin, curly dark brown hair, and is wearing a white bonnet with satin bows. She wears a dark, off-the-shoulder dress with lace trim and a bow, gold earrings, and a ring on her right index finger. On her lap is a colorful fabric with green, yellow, and red hues. The background is a plain, muted dark brown.
