Image description
The portrait shows a woman from the waist up. She is facing the viewer with her body slightly turned to the right. Her right hand is touching her cheek. She has finely arched eyebrows, large eyes, and a small mouth. Her dark hair is styled elegantly with ringlets. She wears a gray dress with a wide neckline, lace cuffs, and a brooch at the center of her chest. The background is a blend of brown and ochre tones.
