The image shows a portrait of a person from the waist up. The individual is seated and facing forward. They have light skin, large eyes, and subtly colored cheeks, with hair neatly parted in the middle and braided, secured with a red ribbon. The person is wearing a blue garment with a white neckline and white accents on the sleeves. Around their neck is an orange beaded necklace. The background features an interior setting with a vertical wood texture, flanked by red and gold drapes adorned with tassels. To the left, there is a partial view of a musical instrument on a table.
