The woman is wearing a pale-green dress with a high neckline and a light blue sash around her waist, as well as lace trim on her neckline and sleeves. She has a gold ring on her finger and a thin necklace around her neck. Beside her on the right is a table covered with red cloth, with a small basket draped in a light-colored fabric on top of it.
