The image shows a portrait of a woman in a side profile facing left. She has an elegant hairstyle, pearls in her hair, fair complexion, a delicate nose, and softly closed lips. She is dressed in a light pink gown with gathered fabric at the bodice, covered by a black lace shawl. She wears a necklace and the attire suggests an 18th-century fashion style. The background is a dark green shade, and the portrait is framed in an oval border.
