Beeldbeschrijving
The image is a portrait of a woman from the upper half of her body. She is angled slightly, facing the viewer directly. She has a gentle smile, bright eyes, and delicate skin. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo with flowers, a ribbon or feather. She wears a pink dress with white lace trim, blue details, a low neckline, and a rose pinned to her bodice. She holds a small cameo or locket in her hands connected to blue beads or ribbon. The background is a soft blue fabric or curtain, and the portrait is encased in an oval frame with leaf patterns and blue embellishments.
