The painting shows a woman's figure from the waist up, seated, and her body is turned slightly to our left. Her head is turned to face the viewer. Her facial features are delicate, with a fair complexion, soft pink cheeks, and light blue eyes. She has long brown hair styled in voluminous waves, pulled back halfway and adorned with pearls. She is wearing a pale yellow gown with a low neckline accented by lace edges and a fabric decoration at the center of the bust. Her sleeves feature blue ribbon details and red jewel embellishments at the shoulders. The background is a muted brown.
