She is wearing a dark, long-sleeved dress with a white lace collar and a brooch. On her lap, there is a colorful patterned fabric with hints of yellow, blue, and orange. She wears a ring on her right hand. The background consists of a wall with an ornate, red curtain draped to her right and a detailed blue pattern behind her.
