Képleírás
The image features a seated woman with long hair, wearing an elaborate dress and a flower and leaf crown. She holds a mirror in her right hand and her left hand rests on her lap. She wears a necklace with a pendant and sits on a creature with a coiled shell and a dragon-like head. The background has a patterned cross-hatching texture.
