She wears a dark dress with a low neckline lined with lace and a pink bow at the center, and a light orange-pink sash around her waist. Behind her is a dark red curtain on the left, and a blue sky on the right, covered in brown and gray clouds. The portrait is enclosed in an oval which is set against a dark brown background.
