Bildbeschreibung
This artwork depicts a woman shown from the waist up, seated in a three-quarter view. She has long hair styled to the back and an expression on her face. Her facial features are rendered with attention to detail. She is wearing a richly embroidered dress with floral patterns in shades of blue, red, and cream, and a deep blue sash. The dress has ruffled lace at the cuffs and neckline. She holds a small flower in her hand. She is adorned with a gold necklace and earrings. The background is a deep brown with a small section showing a landscape with hills and a cloudy sky in the top right corner.
